Transcript
NCBI data, sliding window
programs and dot plots
Sept. 25, 2012
Learning objectives-Become familiar with OMIM and
PubMed. Understand the difference between a research
article and review article. Understand the concept of
sliding window programs. Understand difference between
identity, similarity and homology. Appreciate that proteins
can be modular
Workshop-Learn how to use OMIM and obtain DNA and
proteins sequences associated with diseases. Perform
sliding window to compute %(G+C) as a function of
position in sequence.
Homework due Tuesday, Oct. 2nd.

A good place to start when you want to research a
certain disease or biological molecule
This database is cross-referenced to PubMed and
other NCBI-based databases
Sliding window
A sliding window-gathers information about properties of
nucleotides or amino acids.

A simple example is to calculate the %(G+C) content
within a window. Then move the window one nucleotide
and repeat the calculation.
Sliding window
If the window is too small it is difficult to detect the trend
of the measurement. If too large you could miss meaningful
data.

Kyte-Doolittle Hydropathy
– A sliding window software program [J. Mol. Biol. 157:105-132 (1982)].
The seven known membrane-spanning regions are numbered 1-7 in red on the plot. Note that this particular software program averaged the hydropathy values in the window
(http://www.vivo.colostate.edu/molkit/hydropathy/index.html). The original program by Kyte and Doolittle summed the hydropathy values.

percent chance that
you will receive a
match randomly? One

Answer questions 1-3
Evolutionary Basis of Sequence
Alignment
1. Identity: Quantity that describes how much
two sequences are alike in the strictest terms.
2. Similarity: Quantity that relates how much
two amino acid sequences are alike.
3. Homology: A conclusion drawn from data
suggesting that two genes share a common
evolutionary history.
Purpose of finding differences and similarities
of amino acids in two proteins.
Infer structural information
Infer functional information
Infer evolutionary relationships
Modular nature of proteins
Proteins possess local regions of similarity.
Proteins can be thought of as assemblies of
modular domains.
Two proteins that are similar in
certain regions
Tissue plasminogen activator (PLAT)
Coagulation factor 12 (F12).

The Dotter Program
• Program consists of three components:
•Sliding window
•A table that gives a score for each amino acid match
•A graph that converts the score to a dot of certain density
(the higher the dot density the higher the score)
