LAGAN and Multi-LAGAN: Efficient Tools for Large-Scale Multiple Alignment of Genomic DNA

Table 3.

Changes in Performance of LAGAN and MLAGAN on the CFTRDataset When Translated Anchoring Is Enabled

Alignment Aligner 100% 90%+ 70%+ Time diff.
Human/chicken LAGAN −2% −3% −3% +25%
MLAGAN 0% 0% 0%
Human/fugu LAGAN +6% +8% +8% +93%
MLAGAN +4% +3% +1%
Human/zebrafish LAGAN +7% +6% +4% +29%
MLAGAN 0% 0% 0%
Total for all 11 LAGAN +1% 0% +1% +60%
 alignments MLAGAN 0% +1% 0% +66%
  • We report the differences in the percentage of exons correctly aligned with translated anchoring vs. with the default options where translated anchoring is disabled. No changes were observed in the alignments between mammalian sequences.
