Description

In this paper, we propose a method for extracting common conserved regions from a set of amino acid sequences that belongs to a protein family. This method extracts such regions: first, generate blocks of a fixed length from the sequences then construct a graph whose nodes are the blocks and whose edges are links between any two of the blocks with similarity scores of the two blocks; second, explore common conserved regions by searching for the maximum density subgraph from the graph. The effectiveness of our method is demonstrated by the results applying the method to two protein families that have complex structure of their conserved regions.
