Sequence clustering. In bioinformatics, sequence clustering algorithms attempt to group biological sequences that are somehow related. The sequences can be either of genomic, "transcriptomic" ( ESTs) or protein origin. For proteins, homologous sequences are typically grouped into families. For EST data, clustering is important to group ...
Sequential pattern mining. Sequential pattern mining is a topic of data mining concerned with finding statistically relevant patterns between data examples where the values are delivered in a sequence. [1] [2] It is usually presumed that the values are discrete, and thus time series mining is closely related, but usually considered a different ...
MegAlign Pro (Lasergene Molecular Biology) Software to align DNA, RNA, protein, or DNA + protein sequences via pairwise and multiple sequence alignment algorithms including MUSCLE, Mauve, MAFFT, Clustal Omega, Jotun Hein, Wilbur-Lipman, Martinez Needleman-Wunsch, Lipman-Pearson and Dotplot analysis. Both.
Line search. In optimization, line search is a basic iterative approach to find a local minimum of an objective function . It first finds a descent direction along which the objective function will be reduced, and then computes a step size that determines how far should move along that direction. The descent direction can be computed by various ...
Tabu search is a metaheuristic algorithm that can be used for solving combinatorial optimization problems (problems where an optimal ordering and selection of options is desired). Current applications of TS span the areas of resource planning, telecommunications, VLSI design, financial analysis, scheduling, space planning, energy distribution ...
Phred quality score. A Phred quality score is a measure of the quality of the identification of the nucleobases generated by automated DNA sequencing. [1] [2] It was originally developed for the computer program Phred to help in the automation of DNA sequencing in the Human Genome Project. Phred quality scores are assigned to each nucleotide ...
Sequence analysis. In bioinformatics, sequence analysis is the process of subjecting a DNA, RNA or peptide sequence to any of a wide range of analytical methods to understand its features, function, structure, or evolution. It can be performed on the entire genome, transcriptome or proteome of an organism, and can also involve only selected ...
Boyer–Moore string-search algorithm. In computer science, the Boyer–Moore string-search algorithm is an efficient string-searching algorithm that is the standard benchmark for practical string-search literature. [1] It was developed by Robert S. Boyer and J Strother Moore in 1977. [2]
