pairwise sequence alignment

Pairwise sequence alignment is a crucial method in bioinformatics used to identify regions of similarity that may indicate functional, structural, or evolutionary relationships between sequences.

4. choose optional parameter

3. choose database

nucleotide sequence database

2. select BLAST programme

types

tblastx

translated nucleotide --> translated nucleotide

tblastn

protein --> translated nucleotide

blastx

translated nucleotide --> protein

blastp

1. choose query

accession number

FASTA format

best for sequence that share some similiraty or different length
region of greater similarity
global sequence
best for highly similar of sequence similar length
entire length of sequence

scoring matrices

TYPES
BLOSUM

BLOSUM 30

longer weaker local alignment

BLOSUM 80

detect known member of protein family

BLOSUM 62

most effective in finding potential similarities

BLOSUM 90

short alignment, highly similar

perform better than PAM

most sensitive detect structural of functional substitution

directly calculated, no extrapolation

PAM

Dayhoff Model

to compare divergent proteins compute

based on global alignment of closely related proteins
