Global Alignment

What is an alignment?

Alignment of x and y, resulting in 2 new sequences x’ and y’ such that |x’| = |y’| AND x’ contains either the characters in x as they appear in x OR ’_’.
x’ removed all ’_’ IS x
y’ removed all ’_’ IS y
AND x’[i] && y’[i] != ’_’ (not both spaces)
Global alignment is an alignment of x, y such that

  • is max for all possible alignments.

For all possible alignments, with sequences x and y, with lengths of x’ and y’ being n and m:

  • Max length is n+rCr,


Maximal alignment is defined as the maximum of:

    • Counting the last letter for both
    • Counting n, but using a space for the last char in y
    • Counting n, but using a space for the last char in x
      OPT(n,m) returns the optimal/max alignment score for sequence AND

Ex)
OPT(0,2) for x=ata and y=aaa

  • Returnsthe max alignment score for AND
    • describing the alignment of x: ” and y: β€˜aa’
    • best alignment is x: ’__’ and y: β€˜aa’
      • = -2

  • Matrix R stores the OPT scores s.t. -
  • AND
You can't use 'macro parameter character #' in math mode\displaylines{ = max[score(n,m) + OPT(n-1, m-1),\\ score(n, \_) + OPT(n-1, m), \\ score(\_, m) + OPT(n, m-1)] \\\\ = max[score(3,2) + OPT(2, 1),\\ score(3, \_) + OPT(2, 2), \\ score(\_, 2) + OPT(3, 1)] }$$ - Alignment: - Global: - What we covered, using the $OPT$ and finds the best globally. - Local: - Waterman? ## πŸ§ͺ -> Refresh the Info > Did you generally find the overall content understandable or compelling or relevant or not, and why, or which aspects of the reading were most novel or challenging for you and which aspects were most familiar or straightforward?) ``` ``` > Did a specific aspect of the reading raise questions for you or relate to other ideas and findings you’ve encountered, or are there other related issues you wish had been covered?) ``` ``` ## πŸ”— -> Links ### Resources - Put useful links here ### Connections - Link all related words
