Q. Consider the following statements about multiple sequence alignment (MSA).

1.MSA aligns three or more related sequences.

2.MSA can help identify conserved residues and regions.

3.MSA is useful for phylogenetic analysis.

4.MSA is useful only for DNA sequences, not protein sequences.

Q. Consider the following statements about the Sum-of-Pairs (SP) score.

Each alignment column is scored by considering pairs of residues.

For (n)sequences, each column contains (n(n-1)/2)possible sequence pairs.

The total SP score is obtained by adding the scores of all alignment columns.

SP scoring considers only identical residue pairs and ignores mismatches and gaps.

Q. Consider the following statements about BLOSUM62 in MSA.

1.BLOSUM62 provides substitution scores for amino-acid pairs.

2.Identical amino acids always receive the same score regardless of their identity.

3.A substitution between different amino acids can receive a positive or negative score.

4. BLOSUM62 is a nucleotide substitution matrix.

#Unit 11. Bioinformatics

Q. Assertion:The SP score of an MSA is calculated by summing the scores of all possible residue pairs in each column.

Reason:For (n)sequences, the number of distinct sequence pairs per column is (n(n-1)/2).
