Bioinformatics Analysis:Comparison between Global and Local Alignment

Needleman Wunsch VS Smith Waterman Algorithm
Alignment of the sequences is important to discover the functional,structural and evolutionary relationship between the two genes or proteins.In this video I've compared Needleman Wunsch and Smith Waterman Algorithm.

GLOBAL ALIGNMENT
  • Needlman Wunch Algorithm, generally based on dynamic Programming.
  • Attempts to align the maximum portion of the sequence.
  • Suitable for aligning closely related or equal in length sequences.
Tools for Global Alignment:
  • EMBOSS NEEDLE
  • NEEDLEMAN WUNSCH GLOBAL ALIGN NUCLEOTIDE SEQUENCES (Specialized BLAST)
LOCAL ALIGNMENT
  • Smith Waterman Algorithm are more suitable for dissimilar sequences.
  • Stretches of sequences with high density of matches are aligned in local alignment.
  • Suitable for different length and conserved sequences.
Tools for LOCAL Alignment:
  • BLAST
  • EMBOSS
  • LALIGN

PHYLOGENETIC ANALYSIS: ROOTED AND UNROOTED TREES

BASIC GUIDELINE TO UNDERSTAND ROOTED AND UNROOTED TREES IN PHYLOGENETICS   What is a  PHYLOGENETIC TREE? Phylogenetic trees represent hypothesis about the evolutionary relationships among a group of organisms. A phylogenetic tree may be built using morphological (body shape), biochemical, behavioral, or molecular features of species or other groups.In building a tree, we organize species into nested groups based on shared derived traits (traits different from those of the group's ancestor). HOW TO DRAW A PHYLOGENETIC TREE? In a phylogenetic tree, the species of interest are shown at the tips of the tree's branches. The branches themselves connect up in a way that represents the evolutionary history of the species that is, how we think they evolved from a common ancestor through a series of divergence (splitting-in-two) events.For more details watch the video below: THANK YOU
