Article Synopsis
  • Simulated alignments are a practical alternative to manual multiple sequence alignments, allowing researchers to evaluate alignment tools using sequences with known evolutionary histories.
  • Creating these simulated sequences requires bioinformatics expertise and can be time-consuming, which is a hassle for users needing diverse datasets.
  • The study's primary goal is to develop a database called SAliBASE, containing simulated protein sequences and their corresponding alignments, tailored with varying parameters to aid in evaluating multiple alignment methods.

Background: Current advancements in next-generation sequencing technology have made possible to sequence whole genome but assembling a large number of short sequence reads is still a big challenge. In this article, we present the comparative study of seven assemblers, namely, ABySS, Velvet, Edena, SGA, Ray, SSAKE, and Perga, using prokaryotic and eukaryotic paired-end as well as single-end data sets from Illumina platform.

Results: Results showed that in case of single-end data sets, Velvet and ABySS outperformed in all the seven assemblers with comparatively low assembling time and high genome fraction.

The main objective of this study is to find out the importance of machine vision approach for the classification of five types of land cover data such as bare land, desert rangeland, green pasture, fertile cultivated land, and Sutlej river land. A novel spectra-statistical framework is designed to classify the subjective land cover data types accurately. Multispectral data of these land covers were acquired by using a handheld device named multispectral radiometer in the form of five spectral bands (blue, green, red, near infrared, and shortwave infrared) while texture data were acquired with a digital camera by the transformation of acquired images into 229 texture features for each image.

A comparison of 10 most popular Multiple Sequence Alignment (MSA) tools, namely, MUSCLE, MAFFT(L-INS-i), MAFFT (FFT-NS-2), T-Coffee, ProbCons, SATe, Clustal Omega, Kalign, Multalin, and Dialign-TX is presented. We also focused on the significance of some implementations embedded in algorithm of each tool. Based on 10 simulated trees of different number of taxa generated by R, 400 known alignments and sequence files were constructed using indel-Seq-Gen.
