Question

我一直试图使用MAFFT命令行工具来识别基因组中的编码区域。我的一般过程是将基因的氨基酸共有序列与靶序列的翻译阅读框对齐。我的方法基本上是成功的。但是，我注意到一些特殊的对齐方式，不幸的是会妨碍我的注释方法。以下是一个这样的例子（注意 - 我还包括来自Pairwise2 Biopython模块的成对对齐以演示我想要的输出。不幸的是，Pairwise2的计算时间比MAFFT命令行慢近20倍）：

from time import *
from Bio.SubsMat import MatrixInfo as matlist
from Bio import pairwise2
from Bio.pairwise2 import format_alignment

我试图通过引用帮助文档（http://mafft.cbrc.jp/alignment/software/manual/manual.html）来更改MAFFT命令行对齐算法。我没有收到任何错误消息，但对齐输出不会改变。我不确定需要做出哪些调整。我相信通过增加间隙延伸惩罚（默认为零），对齐将得到改善。在本论坛或通过Google搜索使用MAFFT命令行时，我还没有找到许多文档示例，其中使用了自定义变量。非常感谢帮助。有关Pairwise2对齐参数的文档，请参阅此处：http://biopython.org/DIST/docs/api/Bio.pairwise2-module.html

Answer 1

管理以找出可能的解决方案。提供的示例序列的对齐导致不应存在的长末端/末端间隙。 使用localpair，lexp和lop更改MAFFT对齐算法没有效果（导致我很多混乱）。但是，我注意到每个输入序列反转时对齐输出的差异。奇怪的是，我能够消除末端/末端缺口的唯一方法是将lop（空位开放罚分）设置为相对于lexp（空位延伸罚分）的较小量。我怀疑我的解决方案是利基，可能不适用于其他类似的终端缺口。更改对齐设置也可能会降低最佳对齐。

展望未来，我计划使用自动化流程将共有序列的比对运行到原始序列。如果我通过对齐输出（特别是端子间隙）检测到不规则，我将尝试反转输入序列并应用自定义对齐设置。我想如果这不是一个一致的解决方案，我会想出一种直接优化对齐输出的方法。

对于任何好奇的人，我使用的是lexp值-1.5和lop值0.5（现在包含在我的示例代码中的散列行中）。
