The alignment model was based on the profile HMM (Hidden Markov Model), and the model training was implemented through the SAHMM (Self Adapting Hidden Markov Model) software developed by the authors.展开更多
In this letter, we briefly describe a program of self adapting hidden Markov model (SA HMM) and its application in multiple sequences alignment. Program consists of two stage optimisation algorithm.

The formulation of the forward and backward variables in profile HMMs is made under statistical independence assumption of the probability theory. We propose a fuzzy profile HMM to overcome the limitations of that assumption and to achieve an improved alignment for protein sequences belonging to a given family. The proposed model fuzzifies the forward and backward variables by incorporating Sugeno fuzzy measures and Choquet integrals, thus further extends the generalized HMM. Based on the fuzzified forward and backward variables, we propose a fuzzy Baum-Welch parameter estimation algorithm for profiles. The strong correlations and the sequence preference involved in the protein structures make this fuzzy architecture based model as a suitable candidate for building profiles of a given family, since the fuzzy set can handle uncertainties better than classical methods.展开更多
