1 Why learn sequence database searching? Searching Molecular Databases with BLAST What have I cloned? Is this really!my gene"? Basic Local Alignment Search Tool How BLAST works Interpreting search results The NCBI Web BLAST interface Demonstration and exercises Has someone else already found it? What is this protein&s function? What is it related to? Can I get more sequence easily? Search programs are sequence alignment programs They try to $nd the best alignment between your probe sequence and every target sequence in the database Finding optimal alignments is computationally a very resource intensive process It is usually not necessary to $nd optimal alignments, particularly for large databases Alignments are ranked and only top scores are reported Practical database search methods incorporate shortcuts The fastest sequence database searching programs use heuristic algorithms The basic concept is to break the search and alignment process down into several steps At each step, only a best scoring subset is retained for further analysis What does %HEURISTIC& mean? Heuristic programs $nd approximate alignments!using a problem solving technique in which the most appropriate solution of several found by alternative methods is selected at successive stages of a program for use in the next step of the program" Why consider every possible alignment once a reasonably good alignment is found? They are less sensitive than!dynamic programming" algorithms such as Smith# Waterman for detecting weak similarity In practice, they run much faster and are usually adequate The BLAST program developed by Stephen Altschul and coworkers at the NCBI is the most widely used heuristic program
2 BLAST is a collection of $ve programs for di(erent combinations of query and database sequences Program Probe Database blastn DNA DNA blastp protein protein blastx tblastn tblastx translated DNA protein translated DNA protein translated DNA translated DNA BLAST features Very fast and can be used to search extremely large databases Su'ciently sensitive and selective for most purposes Robust # the default parameters can usually be used Scores are reported in various ways Typical BLAST Output Raw values based on the speci$c scoring matrix employed As bits, which are matrix independent normalized values Signi$cance as represented by E values The EXPECT )E* threshold is used to control score reporting A match will only be reported if its E value falls below the threshold set The default value for E is 10, which means that 10 matches with scores this high are expected to be found by chance Lower EXPECT thresholds are more stringent, and report fewer matches Probabilities reported are summations of the probabilities of multiple HSPs )High scoring Segment Pairs* For HSPs to be included in a sum statistic or gapped alignment they must exhibit consistency Same orientation Consistent order Don&t overlap Repeated motifs will result in multiple, independent alignments between query and subject sequences
3 Interpreting scores Interpreting scores Score interpretation is based on context What is the question? What else do you know about the sequences? Scoring is highly dependent on probe length Exact matches will usually have the highest scores )and lowest E values* Short exact matches may score lower than longer partial matches Short exact matches are expected to occur at random. Partial matches over the entire length of a query are stronger evidence for homology than are short exact matches. Read the sequence descriptions! Homology vs Identity Homologous sequences are derived from a common ancestral sequence. Homology is either true or false. It can never be partial! Saying two sequences are 45+ homologous is a misuse of the term. Sequence identity and similarity can be described as a percentage and are used as evidence of homology.

What does it encode? >clone 14b cgcatgcgcaggcgacagctcatggcgttcagggcctgacggttgctagggtgacagggacacaacatggcg gcgggatctctaacgctctccttcgagggaccaccacggagatcctagtgcgggaccccgcctcagggaagt ggaaagcagggggacaaccttcctgcttccttcttttccgtccagtgtcggcaaggggttgtcaccggcttc cgcatccaagatgaagaactataaagcaattggcaaaataggagagggaacgttttctgaagttatgaagat gcaaagcctgagagatggaaactactatgcatgtaaacaaatgaagcagcgctttgaaagtattgagcaagt caacaacctacgagagatccaagcactgaggcgcctgaatccgcacccaaacattcttatgttgcatgaagt ggtttttgacagaaaatctggttctcttgcactaatatgtgaacttatggacatgaatatttatgagctaat acgagggagaagatacccattatcagaaaaaaaaattatgcactatatgtaccagttatgtaagtccctgga tcatattcacagaaatggaatatttcacagagatgtaaaaccagaaaatatactaataaagcaggatgtcct gaaattaggggactttggctcctgccggagtgtctattccaagcagccgtacacggaatacatctccacccg ctggtaccgggccccggagtgtctcctcactgatgggttctacacgtacaagatggacctgtggagcgccgg ctgtgtgttctacgagatcgccagtctgcagcccctctttcctggagtaaatgaactggaccaaatctcaaa aatccacgatgtcatcggcacacccgctcagaagatcctcaccaagttcaaacagtcgagagctatgaattt tgattttccttttaaaaagggatcaggaatacctctactaacaaccaatttgtccccacaatgcctctccct cctgcacgcaatggtggcctatgatcccgatgagagaatcgccgcccaccaggccctgcagcacccctactt ccaagaacagaggaaaacagagaagcgggctctgggcagccacagaaaagctggctttccggagcaccctgt ggcaccggaaccactcagtaacagctgccagatttccaaggagggcagaaagcagaaacagtccctaaagca agaggaggaccgtcccaagagacgaggaccggcctatgtcatggaactgcccaaactaaagctttcgggagt ggtcagactgtcgtcttactccagccccacgctgcagtccgtgcttggatctggaacaaatggaagagtgcc ggtgctgagacccttgaagtgcatccctgcgagcaagaagacagatccgcagaaggaccttaagcctgcccc gcagcagtgtcgcctgcccaccatagtgcggaaaggcggaagataactgagcagcaccgtcgtctcgacttc ggaggcaacaccaagcccgaccgggccaggcctgggtgatctgctgctgagacgccacggagggctggggat gcgcctgcgtccgtttcgcgctggccggggctctgggtgctgccctgcgccctgccgcacccgcggcccgcg cagctgcctaggatgttctgggctaatatacttgtaaaaccaccgcattctagggttttctttcattttcgt taagaatttggggcaggaaatactttgtaactttgtatatgaatcaaaacaaacgagcaggcatttctgtga tgtgttgggcgtggttggaaggtgggttctgcgtgtcccttcccagcgctgctggtcagtcgtggagcgcca tcatgtcttaccagtgacgctgctgacacccctgacttttattaaagaataagctgtcgttaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaa Search Strategy BLAST program = blastn nucleotide query vs. nucleotide db Database = nr )non#redundant*
