Questão 1
Questão
What is done in pairwise alignment?
Responda
-
Two sequences are stuck on top of each others and the common areas lined up
-
Two sequences are aligned from the beginning and their similarity analysed
-
Two sequences are aligned and their similarity analysed
Questão 2
Questão
Local alignment assigns correspondences to all residues in the sequence, leaving gaps if necessary
Questão 3
Questão
The image shows which of the following?
Questão 4
Questão
The image shows a mismatch
Questão 5
Questão
What can sequence identity be used for?
Responda
-
DNA sequence
-
Amino acid sequence
-
Gene sequence
Questão 6
Questão
Sequence identity can be how specific?
Questão 7
Responda
-
Spaces in part of the sequence that allows other areas to align better
-
Areas with a high density of indels
-
Proteins that align when sequences are swapped over
Questão 8
Questão

Responda
-
+2 Match -1 Indel -2 Mismatch
-
+2 Mismatch -1 Match -2 Indel
-

Questão 9
Questão
Needleman and Wunsch algorithms find the highest scoring path across a matrix
Questão 10
Questão
Which is the light grey, and which is the dark grey?
Questão 11
Questão
PAM matrices used varies depending on the S.I
Questão 12
Questão
PAM250 scoring is used for remote homologues
Questão 13
Questão
In PAM250 scoring, scores are given based on what?
Questão 14
Questão
What does BLAST stand for?
Responda
-
Basic Loci Alignment Search Tools
-
Basic Loci Alignment Sequencing Tools
-
Basic Local Alignment Search Tools
Questão 15
Questão
What is different about BLAST techniques?
Responda
-
The compare residue 'words' instead of single residues/bases
-
They work in areas of less than 50bp long
-
They cover the whole genome very rapdily
Questão 16
Questão
A 'word' is 3bp or 11 aa long
Questão 17
Questão
Once the words have been found in the sequence, they are compared to the database- why?
Questão 18
Questão
An E value is expectation, not probability
Questão 19
Questão
What is the range and significance for the E value?
Smaller values are more likely
Questão 20
Questão
The E value is the probability of getting a result by change in a database of this size
Questão 21
Questão
What is the difference between P and E values
Responda
-
Both are values for 'What is the probability of getting this result by chance alone?', but P accounts for database size
-
Both are values for 'What is the probability of getting this result by chance alone?', E accounts for database size
Questão 22
Questão
In P values, <0.05 is significant
Questão 23
Questão
P value relies on a normal distribution
Questão 24
Questão
What are the limits of P?
Questão 25
Questão
An E of 4 is equal to - in a database of this size, I could get 4 matches by chance alone
