This algorithm uses a divide-and-conquer approach to find optimal pairwise global sequence alignments (from the first until the last Compound of each Sequence) with the restriction that any alignment produced will connect the query sequence to the target sequence at the anchors. This class performs such global sequence comparisons efficiently by dynamic programming with a space requirement reduced from quadratic (a multiple of query sequence length times target sequence length) to only linear (a multiple of query sequence length). The counterpoint to this reduction in space complexity is a modest (a multiple < 2) increase in time.

AnchoredPairwiseSequenceAligner

public AnchoredPairwiseSequenceAligner()

Before running a pairwise global sequence alignment, data must be sent in via calls to AbstractPairwiseSequenceAligner.setQuery(Sequence), AbstractPairwiseSequenceAligner.setTarget(Sequence), AbstractMatrixAligner.setGapPenalty(GapPenalty), and AbstractMatrixAligner.setSubstitutionMatrix(SubstitutionMatrix).

AnchoredPairwiseSequenceAligner

public AnchoredPairwiseSequenceAligner(S query,

Returns:

the list of anchors

setAnchors

public void setAnchors(int[] anchors)

Sets the starting list of anchors before running the alignment routine.

Parameters:

anchors - list of points that are tied to the given indices in the target

addAnchor

public void addAnchor(int queryIndex,
                      int targetIndex)

Adds an additional anchor to the set of anchored compounds

Parameters:

queryIndex - 0-based index of query sequence compound

targetIndex - 0-base index of target sequence compound to anchor to

setProfile

protected void setProfile(List<AlignedSequence.Step> sx,
                          List<AlignedSequence.Step> sy)
