Detection of Highly Divergent Tandem Repeats in the Rice Genome

Abstract: Currently, there is a lack of bioinformatics approaches to identify highly divergent tandem repeats (TRs) in eukaryotic genomes. Here, we developed a new mathematical method to search for TRs, which uses a novel algorithm for constructing multiple alignments based on the generation of random position weight matrices (RPWMs), and applied it to detect TRs of 2 to 50 nucleotides long in the rice genome. The RPWM method could find highly divergent TRs in the presence of insertions or deletions. Comparison of the R… Show more

“…Thereafter, X 1 = C − C / D(C) was calculated. "Here, C is the number of PPS intersections with TEs in the rice genome, C is the expected number of PPS intersections with TEs, D(C) is the variance for the expected number of PPS intersections with TEs" [30].…”

“…The pepper ( Capsicum annuum ) genome was used as a model to search for TRs with the improved RPWM algorithm. RPWM, which uses position weight matrices (PWMs), 33 was modified to consider the correlation of adjacent nucleotides in TR detection and more accurately determine the statistical significance of the identified TRs. In order to understand the nature of the improvement, let us review the main steps of the RPWM algorithm.…”

“…In our previous studies, we have developed the random position weight matrix (RPWM) method, which could effectively detect TRs with the average number of mutations per nucleotide (x) up to 3.2. 31 , 32 , 33 Here, we improved the RPWM method by considering the correlation between adjacent DNA bases, which allowed identification of TRs with 2–200 bp, and refined the estimation of the statistical significance of the found TRs by using the Monte Carlo method. As a result, it was possible to increase the average number of TR-containing regions detected per 10 6 DNA bases by 1.5 times.…”

“…The MAHDS method was developed early for the multi alignment of promoter sequences and DNA sequences with weak similarity [ 18 , 19 , 20 ]. This method uses mathematical approaches and programs that were previously created to search for tandem repeats in various sequences [ 33 , 45 , 46 , 47 , 48 , 49 ]. In the present work, the site (3 June 2020) was used to construct a multiple alignment by the MAHDS method for various amino acid sequences.…”
