Abstract | We consider the problem of aligning multiple protein sequences with the goal of maximizing the SP (sum-of-pairs) score, when the number of sequences is large. The QOMA (quasi-optimal multiple alignment) algorithm addressed this problem when the number of sequences is small. However, as the number of sequences increases, QOMA becomes impractical. This paper develops a new algorithm, QOMA2, which optimizes the SP score of the alignment of arbitrarily large number of sequences. Given an initial (potentially sub-optimal) alignment , QOMA2 selects short subsequences from this alignment by placing a window on it. It quickly estimates the amount of improvement that can be obtained by optimizing the alignment of the subsequences in short windows on this alignment. This estimate is called the SW (sum of weights) score. It employs a dynamic programming algorithm that selects the set of window positions with the largest total expected improvement. It partitions the subsequences within each window into clusters such that the number of subsequences in each cluster is small enough to be optimally aligned within a given time. Also, it aims to select these clusters so that the optimal alignment of the subsequences in these clusters produces the highest expected SP score. The experimental results show that QOMA2 produces high SP scores quickly even for large number of sequences. They also show that the SW score and the resulting SP score are highly correlated. This implies that it is promising to aim for optimizing the SW score since it is much cheaper than aligning multiple sequences optimally. The software and the benchmark data set are available from the authors on request. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
