COMPARATIVE STUDY
P Guerdoux-Jamet, D Lavenier
MOTIVATION: SAMBA (Systolic Accelerator for Molecular Biological Applications) is a 128 processor hardware accelerator for speeding up the sequence comparison process. The short-term objective is to provide a low-cost board to boost PC or workstation performance on this class of applications. This paper places SAMBA amongst other existing systems and highlights the original features. RESULTS: Real performance obtained from the prototype is demonstrated. For example, a sequence of 300 amino acids is scanned against SWISS-PROT-34 (21 210 389 residues) in 30 s using the Smith and Waterman algorithm...

JOURNAL ARTICLE
J Gouzy, P Eugéne, E A Greene, D Kahn, F Corpet
MOTIVATION: To extract the maximum possible information from a set of protein sequences, its modular organization must be known and clearly displayed. This is important both for structural and functional analysis. RESULTS: This paper presents an algorithm and a graphical interface called XDOM which performs a systematic analysis of the modular organization of any set of protein sequences. The algorithm is an automatic method to identify putative domains from sequence comparisons...

#8
JOURNAL ARTICLE
H Kato, Y Takahashi
This paper discusses the implementation of a three-dimensional (3D) structure motif search of proteins. Each protein structure is represented by a set of secondary structure elements (SSEs) which involves alpha-helix segments and beta-strand segments. In describing it, every SSE is further reduced into a two-node graph that consists of the starting amino acid residue, the ending residue and a pseudo-bond between them. The searching algorithm is based on a graph theoretical clique-finding algorithm that has been used for 3D substructure searching in small organic molecules...

JOURNAL ARTICLE
P A Doris, A Hayward-Lester, J K Hays
MOTIVATION: We have developed software to assist in the computation of gene expression from data obtained in competitive reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). This report describes the mathematical basis of competitive RT-PCR and discusses the criteria which must be met to permit accurate estimations of gene expression to be obtained using this technique. RESULTS: The software that has been developed assists in both the assessment of assay performance (specifically in establishing the equality of amplification efficiency of the native and competitor templates) and in the routine analysis of data obtained in quantitation of gene expression by competitive RT-PCR...

JOURNAL ARTICLE
J Gorodkin, L J Heyer, S Brunak, G D Stormo
MOTIVATION: We extend the standard 'Sequence Logo' method of Schneider and Stevens (Nucleic Acids Res., 18, 6097-6100, 1990) to incorporate prior frequencies on the bases, allow for gaps in the alignments, and indicate the mutual information of base-paired regions in RNA. RESULTS: Given an alignment of RNA sequences with the base pairings indicated, the program will calculate the information at each position, including the mutual information of the base pairs, and display the results in a 'Structure Logo'...

JOURNAL ARTICLE
C Zhang, A K Wong
MOTIVATION: Multiple molecular sequence alignment is among the most important and most challenging tasks in computational biology. The currently used alignment techniques are characterized by great computational complexity, which prevents their wider use. This research is aimed at developing a new technique for efficient multiple sequence alignment. APPROACH: The new method is based on genetic algorithms. Genetic algorithms are stochastic approaches for efficient and robust searching...

COMPARATIVE STUDY
H Williams, J Zobel
MOTIVATION: International sequencing efforts are creating huge nucleotide databases, which are used in searching applications to locate sequences homologous to a query sequence. In such applications, it is desirable that databases are stored compactly, that sequences can be accessed independently of the order in which they were stored, and that data can be rapidly retrieved from secondary storage, since disk costs are often the bottleneck in searching. RESULTS: We present a purpose-built direct coding scheme for fast retrieval and compression of genomic nucleotide data...

MOTIVATION: The aims were to: enable users to deposit complex search profiles against the sequence databases; interface to an independent Sequence Retrieval System (SRS) server through the network to perform these searches on a daily basis through the last day's updates of these databases; mail users the reformatted search results, enabling local usage when loaded by a WWW browser. RESULTS: The deposition of one to many search profiles by the user leads to a daily search of the EMBL and SWISSPROT databases...

JOURNAL ARTICLE
R G Forsythe, P D Karp, M L Mavrovouniotis
MOTIVATION: Group contribution methods are frequently used for estimating physical properties of compounds from their molecular structures. An algorithm for estimating Gibbs energies of formation through group contribution methods has been automated in an object-oriented framework. The algorithm decomposes compound structures according to a basis set of groups. It permits the use of wildcards and is able to distinguish between ring groups and chain groups that use similar search structures...

JOURNAL ARTICLE
C Soderlund, I Longden, R Mott
MOTIVATION: To meet the demands of large-scale sequencing, thousands of clones must be fingerprinted and assembled into contigs. To determine the order of clones, a typical experiment is to digest the clones with one or more restriction enzymes and measure the resulting fragments. The probability of two clones overlapping is based on the similarity of their fragments. A contig contains two or more overlapping clones and a minimal tiling path of clones is selected to be sequenced. Interactive software with algorithmic support is necessary to assemble the clones into contigs quickly...

Use Parentheses

water AND (cup OR glass)

Add an asterisk (*) at end of a word to include word stems

Neuro* will search for Neurology, Neuroscientist, Neurological, and so on

Use quotes to search for an exact phrase

"primary prevention of cancer"
(heart or cardiac or cardio*) AND arrest -"American Heart Association"
