LocARNA: Alignment of RNAs
|
|
==========================
|
|
|
|
LocARNA is a collection of alignment tools for the structural analysis
|
|
of RNA. Given a set of RNA sequences, LocARNA simultaneously aligns
|
|
and predicts common structures for your RNAs. In this way, LocARNA
|
|
performs Sankoff-like alignment and is in particular suited for
|
|
analyzing sets of related RNAs without known common structure.
|
|
|
|
LocARNA distinguishes itself from many other Sankoff-style multiple
|
|
alignment programs by its performance and low memory complexity, high
|
|
accuracy, and richness of features. As unique features, it offers
|
|
structure-local alignment, flexible structure and anchor constraints,
|
|
and provides efficient computation of reliabilities in
|
|
sequence-structure alignment. The package offers a robust core of
|
|
features and is used as experimental platform for the incorporation of
|
|
new features in RNA sequence-structure alignment.
|
|
|
|
|
|
At its core, the package offers global and local multiple alignment of
|
|
RNAs.
|
|
|
|
Multiple alignment can be performed in one of several different ways:
|
|
|
|
* progressive alignment using sequence-structure alignment of profiles
|
|
|
|
* progressive alignment after consistency transformation using
|
|
T-Coffee
|
|
|
|
* progressive alignment using probabilistic consistency transformation
|
|
and sequence-structure profile alignments, optionally followed by
|
|
iterative refinement.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Besides of global alignment, LocARNA supports two kinds of
|
|
locality. Local alignment as it is known from sequence alignment,
|
|
identifies and aligns the best matching subsequences. This form of
|
|
locality is called sequence local to distinguish it from structural
|
|
locality. When performing structure local alignment, LocARNA
|
|
identifies and aligns the best matching substructures in the RNAs. The
|
|
sequences of those substructures can be discontinuous on the sequence
|
|
level, but remain connected via structural bonds.
|
|
|
|
Alignment Reliabilities (LocARNA-P). In this special, probabilistic
|
|
mode of operation LocARNA supports the efficient computation of match
|
|
probabilities, probabilistic consistency transformation for more
|
|
accurate multiple alignment, and generates reliability profiles of
|
|
multiple alignments.
