Search your Name in the SwissProt Database


     This bio-recipe shows two things: (1) how to search for a given name (or for that matter, a very short fragment) in the peptide sequences of the entire SwissProt database, (2) how to align a given name to all peptide sequences of SwissProt.

     The name is first converted into uppercase letters, because peptide sequences are stored in uppercase. Then all the letters that do not correspond to a one-letter-code of an amino acid are replaced. The letter 'O' is replaced by 'Q', and all other letters are replaced by an 'X'.

     After the replacement, the program first looks for an exact match of the name in the database. If this exact search is successful, the sequence is shown. Next, the name is aligned to every sequence in the SwissProt database using the local alignment method. The sequence and the score of the best alignment are stored.

Define location of SwissProt database, and create a Dayhoff matrix suitable for this matches (not too distant).

SwissProt := '~cbrg/DB/SwissProt.Z':
ReadDb(SwissProt);
DM := DayMatrix(30);
Reading 169638448 characters from file /home/cbrg/DB/SwissProt.Z
Pre-processing input (peptides)
163235 sequences within 163235 entries considered
Peptide file(/home/cbrg/DB/SwissProt.Z(169638448), 163235 entries, 59631787
 aminoacids)
DM := DayMatrix(Peptide, pam=30, Sim: max=18.263, min=-19.062,
 del=-26.659-1.396*(k-1))

Load the SwissProt database, and assign the names

Name := 'Peter';
Name := 'Gaston';
Name := 'Widmayer';
Name := Peter
Name := Gaston
Name := Widmayer

Convert name into uppercase letter, replace all letters that are not one-letter-codes of amino acids

Name := uppercase(Name):
for i to length(Name) do
    if Name[i]='O' then Name[i] := 'Q'
    elif AToInt(Name[i]) = 0 then Name[i] := 'X'
    fi od;
Name;
WIDMAYER

Look for an exact match

Sequence(SearchSeqDb(Name));

Local alignment of name with all sequences in SwissProt. Print each alignment that is a new maximum.

BestAl := Align( Name, Sequence(Entry(1)) );
for s in Sequences() do
    a := Align( Name, s );
    if a[Score] > BestAl[Score] then BestAl := a; print(a) fi
    od:
BestAl := Alignment('MAY',Sequence(AC('P15711'))[102..104],38.1052,DM,0,0,{Local})
