24 Scope of this lab 1. Be familiar with sequence databases and some online bioinformatics tools DATABASES: GenBank- EMBL- DDBJ- Sequence Search and Retrieval: BLAST Sequence Alignement: ClustalW2, MAFFT Sequences Analysis and Domain Search: Pfam and SMART Protein Structure and Prediction: Pymol Molecular Evolution: MEGA More Tools to Discover on Your Own

25 Online Tools

26 Scope of this lab 2. Touch Some Simple Programming (Stand-alone) Basic UNIX Commands: cd, mkdir, mv. cp, rm, cat, ls, pwd, gunzip, unzip, tar Perl: String, Array, Hash R: Read a file, column, row, plot, hist, heat map

29 Database Sequence Similarity Searching Definition: Applies computation, mathematical algorithms, statistical inference to rapidly find similar sequences (hits) to a target (query) sequence from a database. All similarity searching methods rely on the concepts of alignment between sequences. A similarity score is calculated from a distance: the number of DNA bases or amino acids that are different between two sequences.

32 Sequence Alignement and Dynamic Programming

33 Sequence Alignement Comparison and Substitution Matrix Some popular scoring matrices are: PAM (Point Accepted Mutation): for evolutionary studies. For example in PAM1, 1 accepted point mutation per 100 amino acids is required. BLOSUM (BLOcks amino acid Substitution Matrix): for finding common motifs. For example in BLOSUM62, the alignment is created using sequences sharing no more than 62% identity. Experimentation has shown that the BLOSUM-62 matrix is among the best for detecting most weak protein similarities.
