2 Sequence Alignment 2. Sequence Alignment

3 Sequence Alignment 2.1 Motivation Kind of mutations for a DNA example point mutations: CCGTCAGTTACGCCGTATCGTCTAGCT CCGCTCAGTTATCGCCGTAGTCGTCTACGCT deletion: CCGTCAGTTACGCCGTATCGTCTAGCT CCGTCAGTT CCGTCAGTTACGCCGTATCGTCTAGCT CCGTATCGTCTAGCT insertion: CCGTCAGTTACG CCGTATCGTCTAGCT CCGTCAGTT CCGTCAGTTCCGTATCGTCTAGCTCCGTATCGTCTAGCT Deletion and insertion are indistinguishable: Indel Goal: optimal position of the blanks (max. score)

4 Sequence Alignment 2.2 Sequence Similarities and Scoring BIOINFORMATICS BOILING FOR MANICS BIOI--N-FORMATICS B-OILINGFORMANICS 12 identical letters out of the 14 letters of BIOINFORMATICS Mutations: (1) delete I BOINFORMATICS (2) insert LI BOILINFORMATICS (3) insert G BOILINGFORMATICS (4) change T into N BOILINGFORMANICS Is I deleted form the first string or inserted in the second? Indels are denoted by -

5 Sequence Alignment Identity Matrix Dot matrix: one sequence on the top and the other vertically letters of the sequences are paired (all pairs) each matching pair of letters receives a dot

6 Sequence Alignment Identity Matrix B I O I N F O R M A T I C S B O I L I N G F O R M A N I C S

7 Sequence Alignment Identity Matrix Which pairs correspond to the optimal alignment? Each path through the matrix is an alignment and vice versa Goal: search path with most dots A simple game, where you can move horizontally (a - in the vertical sequence) vertically (a - in the horizontal sequence) diagonal only if you at the position of a dot (matches) Task: hit as many dots as possible if you run from the upper left corner to the lower right corner.

12 Sequence Alignment BLOSUM Matrices PAM matrices: very similar sequences and generalized to less similar by matrix multiplication BLOSUM (BLOck SUbstitution Matrix, Henikoff and Henikoff, 1992) is based on the Blocks database BLOSUM directly determines the similarity BLOSUM p: p% identity of the blocks BLOSUM 62 (62% identity) is most popular

13 Sequence Alignment BLOSUM Matrices Calculation of the BLOSUM matrices: 1. Sequences with at least p% identity are clustered. Each cluster provides a sequence of frequencies. In the following we only consider the case without frequencies. 2. Frequency sequences are compared and pairs (i,j) counted by c i,j according to column k: n k i amino acids i and nk j amino acids j c k i,j = µ n k i 2 = 1 2 n k i 2 for i = j n k i nk j for i>j n k i n k i n k i n k i where the factor 1/2 accounts for symmetry and subtracts the original sequence (no mutation)

14 Sequence Alignment BLOSUM Matrices 3. For N sequences of length L compute c i,j = X c k i,j, Z = X c i,j = k i,j<i q i,j LN (N 1) 2 = c i,j Z, q j,i = q i,j i>j q i,j =2p(i, j), p i,j = p(j i) 4. probability to observe amino acid i is q i = q i,i + X j6=i q i,j is divided by 2: mutations from i to j and j to i in step 2. q i,j 2 5. Likelihood ratios and the log-odd ratios q i,i q 2 i, q i,j /2 q i q j, BLOSUM i,j = 2log 2 q i,i q 2 i 2log 2 for i = j q i,j 2 q i q j for i 6= j BLOSUM values are rounded to integers

20 Sequence Alignment BLOSUM Matrices BLOSUM and PAM compared: PAM100 BLOSUM90 PAM120 BLOSUM80 PAM160 BLOSUM60 PAM200 BLOSUM52 PAM250 BLOSUM45 PAM: context dependent, dependency between substitutions low probability mutations are not as well observed subsequences of very similar sequences (bias to mutation) BLOSUM: not model based evolutionary relationships not considered

21 Sequence Alignment Gap Penalties sequence similarities pointwise more complex scores? simple scores lead to efficient algorithms

22 Sequence Alignment Gap Penalties BIOINFORMATICS BOILING FOR MANICS Gap: maximal substring of - BIOI--N-FORMATICS B-OILINGFORMANICS gaps contribute negatively to the score but how? linear gap penalty: - l d (l is gap length, d is cost)

23 Sequence Alignment Gap Penalties However: neighboring indels may result from a single mutation and are statistically not independent Sequence with introns and exons may be compared to a measured sequence (x-ray, NMR) --> missing introns Affine gap penalty: d (l 1) e d: gap open penalty e: gap extension penalty

33 Sequence Alignment 2.3 Global - Needleman-Wunsch During filling the matrix the path must be memorized. The S(i 1,j 1),S(i 1,j),S(i, j 1) from which S(i, j) was computed must be stored in a variable B: B(i, j) =(i 1,j 1) or (i 1,j) or (i, j 1) This variable allows to generate the alignment through backtracking starting from (n,m): x (i 1,j 1) then print i y j if B(i, j) = (i 1,j) then print (i, j 1) then print x i y j

38 Sequence Alignment 2.3 Global - Needleman-Wunsch Affine Gap Penalty Problem: long term dependencies Introducing a gap implies a gap opening event earlier in the sequence and all earlier events must be considered: S(i 1,j 1) + s(x i,y j ) S(i, j) = max S(i k, j) d (k 1) e, 1 k i S(i, j k) d (k 1) e, 1 k j two sequences of length n: complexity O n 3 because all S(i, j) must considered ( O n 2 ) and checking all previous gap openings O (n) for
