| Abstract |
A multiple sequence alignment algorithm is described that uses a dynamic programming-based pattern construction method to align a set of homologous sequences based on their common pattern of conserved sequence elements. This pattern-induced multi-sequence alignment (PIMA) algorithm can employ secondary-structure dependent gap penalties for use in comparative modelling of new sequences when the three-dimensional structure of one or more members of the same family is known. We show that the use of secondary structure information can significantly improve the accuracy of aligning structure boundaries in a set of homologous sequences even when the structure of only one member of the family is known. |
