CAFS: Clustering Analysis of Functional Shifts
|
|
|
|
CAFS is a simple and fast method for Clustering functionally divergent (FD)
|
|
genes by Functional Category.
|
|
|
|
The method implemented in CAFS is one of several sequence-based methods
|
|
for identifying the 'interesting' subset of substitutions that might
|
|
underpin functional divergence. These methods are based on the idea of that
|
|
functionally-important residues are highly conserved, so that evolutionary
|
|
rates tend to be low at important sites. Functional divergence can then be
|
|
identified by comparing rates (or levels of conservation) between two
|
|
clades of proteins at a homologous site. Alternatively, a significant
|
|
change in amino acid identity (such as a large, positively-charged residue
|
|
in one group of sequences versus a small, neutral residue in the other)
|
|
could indicate functional divergence even without a change in rate.
|
|
|
|
This program analyses alignments and provides the user with the best
|
|
putative sites under functional divergence.
