1.0 OBJECTIVES
2.0 RESULTS
Figure 1 shows the five iterations taken to remove all false positives
IIAHSQG [IL]I[AG]HS[QMH]G
3.0 DISCUSSION
In practical 4.2, PHI-BLAST was used searches protein sequences using a combination of
pattern matching and local alignment to reduce the probability of false positives. PHI-BLAST
searches protein sequences for the existence of regular expression patterns as well as
homologous sequences close to the pattern. It combines local alignments close to the match
with regular expressions that match. PHI-BLAST distinguishes the genuine homologous
sequences from the random hits more successfully than earlier BLAST iterations. The pattern
syntax follows the PROSITE rules. In order to locate protein sequences that are homologous
to a sequence containing this pattern, the PHI pattern "[IL]I[AG]HS[QMH]G" was employed.
A variety of amino acids are indicated by the brackets ([]). [IL] denotes a single instance of
either I or L. Similarly, [AG], [HS], and [QMH] are applicable.
4.0 CONCLUSION
In conclusion, multiple sequence alignment is built using PSI-BLAST, and the resulting
position-specific scoring matrix (PSSM) is customized. As a result, since a different scoring
matrix is created for each iteration, each iteration is based on the PSSM. PHI-BLAST was used
to look for similar sequences based on the distribution of the amino acids.
