8 Weighted Automata: Topology Regular expression constraint R is converted into an ɛ-free NFA A. The topology of a weighted automaton M is essentially the same as the topology of the product machine of A.

9 Weighted Automata Let δ be the transition function of A. Then δ M, the transition function of M, is defined as δ M ((p, q), (a, b)) = { δ(p, a) δ(q, b) if (p, q) (F F ) {(q 0, q 0 )} (δ(p, a) δ(q, b)) {(p, q)} otherwise (q 0, q 0 ) (a, a) (q 1, q 0 ) a q 0 q 1 (q 0, q 1 ) (q 1, q 1 ) Efficient Algorithms forregular Expression Constrained Sequence Alignment p. 9/5

Efficient Algorithms forregular Expression Constrained Sequence Alignment p. 19/5

20 Arslan s Algorithm Let r be the size of the transition function of M. In the algorithm by Arslan, the whole automaton is constructed and searched for each (i 1, i ), hence taking O(r) time and space. Total time and space: O(rn ) and O(rn), repectively. Let V be the set of states in A. a c #arcs in A = Θ( Σ V ) in the worst case. a t r = #arcs in M, which is Θ( Σ V ) in the worst case. c g Efficient Algorithms forregular Expression Constrained Sequence Alignment p. 0/5

21 Time and Space Complexity Worst case complexity for Arslan s algorithm: O( Σ V n ) time and O( Σ V n) space. The space complexity is for the computation of the optimal score only. It is not mentioned how to reconstruct the optimal alignment without affecting the space complexity. In this work we propose two algorithms. Worst case time: O( V n ) and O( V log V n ), respectively. Space: O( V n), with the optimal alignment reconstructed. Efficient Algorithms forregular Expression Constrained Sequence Alignment p. 1/5

24 The First Algorithm Let L be a temporary V V table initialized to be all. for p V do for p V with T [p, S 1 [i 1 ]; p] = 1 do for q V do L[p, q ] max{l[p, q ], L i1 1,i 1[p, q ] + γ(s 1 [i 1 ], S [i ])}; for q V do for q V with T [q, S [i ]; q] = 1 do for p V do L (S 1[i 1 ],S [i ]) i 1 1,i 1 [p, q] max{l (S 1[i 1 ],S [i ]) i 1 1,i 1 [p, q], L[p, q ]}; The insertion and deletion cases are similar. Efficient Algorithms forregular Expression Constrained Sequence Alignment p. /5

25 Reconstruct the Alignment If we know which substrings of S 1 and S are aligned to satisfy the constraint in an optimal constrained alignment, then the optimal alignment can be reconstructed easily in O(n) space. R S R S 1 The indices of such substrings can be found by doing some additional bookkeeping during the computation without affecting the space complexity mentioned previously.

27 The Second Algorithm The second algorithm requires V = O(log n). Let T [p, a] be the bit vector (T [p, a; ],..., T [p, a; p V ]). Under the assumption, T [p, a] can be stored in a single word. We take L (S 1[i 1 ],-) i 1 1,i [p, q] as an example. The other two cases are similar. Efficient Algorithms forregular Expression Constrained Sequence Alignment p. 7/5

28 The Second Algorithm The arcs shown are all transitions in δ labeled with S 1 [i 1 ]. V = {,,, p }. Fix q V.

34 Conclusion and Future Works More time and space efficient algorithms for regular expression constrained sequence alignment are proposed. A multiple alignment version is important. Generalize the weighted automata structure to obtain optimal solutions: suggested by Arslan (CPM 005). Progressive heuristics: e.g., Lu and Huang s work (Bioinformatics 005). Approximation algorithms: in preparation. Local alignment version would also be useful. Has a similar motivation as PHI-BLAST; may work complementarily by taking a different approach.
