Bacterial Foraging Optimization -Genetic Algorithm for Multiple Sequence Alignment with Multi-Objectives.

ABSTRACT: This research work focus on the multiple sequence alignment, as developing an exact multiple sequence alignment for different protein sequences is a difficult computational task. In this research, a hybrid algorithm named Bacterial Foraging Optimization-Genetic Algorithm (BFO-GA) algorithm is aimed to improve the multi-objectives and carrying out measures of multiple sequence alignment. The proposed algorithm employs multi-objectives such as variable gap penalty minimization, maximization of similarity and non-gap percentage. The proposed BFO-GA algorithm is measured with various MSA methods such as T-Coffee, Clustal Omega, Muscle, K-Align, MAFFT, GA, ACO, ABC and PSO. The experiments were taken on four benchmark datasets such as BAliBASE 3.0, Prefab 4.0, SABmark 1.65 and Oxbench 1.3 databases and the outcomes prove that the proposed BFO-GA algorithm obtains better statistical significance results as compared with the other well-known methods. This research study also evaluates the practicability of the alignments of BFO-GA by applying the optimal sequence to predict the phylogenetic tree by using ClustalW2 Phylogeny tool and compare with the existing algorithms by using the Robinson-Foulds (RF) distance performance metric. Lastly, the statistical implication of the proposed algorithm is computed by using the Wilcoxon Matched-Pair Signed- Rank test and also it infers better results.

Project description:BACKGROUND:During procedures for conducting multiple sequence alignment, that is so essential to use the substitution score of pairwise alignment. To compute adaptive scores for alignment, researchers usually use Hidden Markov Model or probabilistic consistency methods such as partition function. Recent studies show that optimizing the parameters for hidden Markov model, as well as integrating hidden Markov model with partition function can raise the accuracy of alignment. The combination of partition function and optimized HMM, which could further improve the alignment's accuracy, however, was ignored by these researches. RESULTS:A novel algorithm for MSA called ProbPFP is presented in this paper. It intergrate optimized HMM by particle swarm with partition function. The algorithm of PSO was applied to optimize HMM's parameters. After that, the posterior probability obtained by the HMM was combined with the one obtained by partition function, and thus to calculate an integrated substitution score for alignment. In order to evaluate the effectiveness of ProbPFP, we compared it with 13 outstanding or classic MSA methods. The results demonstrate that the alignments obtained by ProbPFP got the maximum mean TC scores and mean SP scores on these two benchmark datasets: SABmark and OXBench, and it got the second highest mean TC scores and mean SP scores on the benchmark dataset BAliBASE. ProbPFP is also compared with 4 other outstanding methods, by reconstructing the phylogenetic trees for six protein families extracted from the database TreeFam, based on the alignments obtained by these 5 methods. The result indicates that the reference trees are closer to the phylogenetic trees reconstructed from the alignments obtained by ProbPFP than the other methods. CONCLUSIONS:We propose a new multiple sequence alignment method combining optimized HMM and partition function in this paper. The performance validates this method could make a great improvement of the alignment's accuracy.
