13 Homology Search

14 Homology Search

15 Strategy

18 How/Why find ORF?

19 How/Why find ORF?

20 Protein Database Searches

21 Domain searches

22 Limits of Extrinsic Prediction

23 ab initio Prediction

24 Homology Search is not Enough! Biased and incomplete Database Sequenced genomes are not evenly distributed on the tree of life, and does not reflect the diversity accordingly either. Number of sequenced genomes clustered here

25 ab initio Gene Prediction

26 Features

27 ORFs (6 frames)

28 Codon Statistics

29 Features (Contd.)

30 Probabilistic View

31 Supervised Techniques

32 Unsupervised Techniques

33 Usually Used Tools GeneMark GLIMMER EasyGene PRODIGAL

34 GeneMark Developed in 1993 at Georgia Institute of Technology as the first gene finding tool. Used markov chain to represent the statistics of coding and noncoding reading frames using dicodon statistics. Shortcomings Inability to find exact gene boundaries

35 GeneMark.hmm

36 GeneMark.hmm Probability of any sequence S underlying functional sequence X is calculated as P(X S)=P(x 1,x 2,,x L b 1,b 2,,b L ) Viterbi algorithm then calculates the functional sequence X * such that P(X * S) is the largest among all possible values of X. Ribosome binding site model was also added to augment accuracy in the prediction of translational start sites.

37 GeneMark Even in prokaryotic genomes gene overlaps are quite common RBS feature overcomes this problem by defining a % position nucleotide matrix based on alignment of 325 E coli genes whose RBS signals have already been annotated. Uses a consensus sequence AGGAG to search upstream of any alternative start codons for genes predicted by HMM. GeneMarkS GENEMARKS Considered the best gene prediction tool. Based on unsupervised learning.

38 GLIMMER Maintained by Steven Salzberg, Art Delcher at the University of Maryland, College Park Used IMM (Interpolated Markov Models) for the first time. Predictions based on variable context (oligomers of variable lengths). More flexible than the fixed order Markov models. Principle IMM combines probability based on 0,1..k previous bases, in this case k=8 is used. But this is for oligomers that occur frequently. However, for rarely occurring oligomers, 5th order or lower may also be used.

39 Glimmer development Glimmer 2 (1999) Increased the sensitivity of prediction by adding concept of ICM (Interpolated Context Model) Glimmer 3 (2007) Overcomes the shortcomings of previous models by taking in account sum of RBS score, IMM coding potentials and a score for start codons which is dependent on relative frequency of each possible start codon in the same training set used for RBS determination. Algorithm used reverse scoring of IMM by scoring all ORF (open reading frames) in reverse, from the stop codon to start codon. Score being the sum of log likelihood of the bases contained in the ORF.

42 PRODIGAL-Features

43 PRODIGAL-Features

44 EasyGene Developed at University of Copenhagen Statistical significance is the measure for gene prediction. High quality data set based on similarity in SwissPRot is extracted from genome. Data set used to estimate the HMM where based on ORF score and length statistical significance is calculated. Problem: No standalone version available
