Towards the +first goal, \fBspidey\fP uses BLAST and Dot View (another local +alignment tool) to find its alignments; since these are both local +alignment tools, \fBspidey\fP does not intrinsically favor shorter or +longer introns and has no maximum intron size. To avoid mistakenly +including exons from paralogs and pseudogenes, \fBspidey\fP first +defines windows on the genomic sequence and then performs the +mRNA-to-genomic alignment separately within each window. Because of +the way the windows are constructed, neighboring paralogs or +pseudogenes should be in separate windows and should not be included +in the final spliced alignment. +.SS Initial alignments and construction of genomic windows +\fBspidey\fP takes as input a single genomic sequence and a set of +mRNA accessions or FASTA sequences. All processing is done one mRNA +sequence at a time. The first step for each mRNA sequence is a +high-stringency BLAST against the genomic sequence. The resulting +hits are analyzed to find the genomic windows. +.PP +The BLAST alignments are sorted by score and then assigned into +windows by a recursive function which takes the first alignment and +then goes down the alignment list to find all alignments that are +consistent with the first (same strand of mRNA, both the mRNA and +genomic coordinates are nonoverlapping and linearly consistent). On +subsequent passes, the remaining alignments are examined and are put +into their own nonoverlapping, consistent windows, until no alignments +are left. Depending on how many gene models are desired, the +top \fIn\fP windows are chosen to go on to the next step and the others +are deleted. +.SS Aligning in each window +Once the genomic windows are constructed, the initial BLAST alignments +are freed and another BLAST search is performed, this time with the +entire mRNA against the genomic region defined by the window, and at a +lower stringency than the initial search. \fBspidey\fP then uses a +greedy algorithm to generate a high-scoring, nonoverlapping subset of +the alignments from the second BLAST search. This consistent set is +analyzed carefully to make sure that the entire mRNA sequence is +covered by the alignments. When gaps are found between the +alignments, the appropriate region of genomic sequence is searched +against the missing mRNA, first using a very low-stringency BLAST and, +if the BLAST fails to find a hit, using DotView functions to locate +the alignment. When gaps are found at the ends of the alignments, the +BLAST and DotView searches are actually allowed to extend past the +boundaries of the window. If the 3' end of the mRNA does not align +completely, it is first examined for the presence of a poly(A) tail. +No attempt is made to align the portion of the mRNA that seems to be a +poly(A) tail; sometimes there is a poly(A) tail that does align to the +genomic sequence, and these are noted because they indicate the +possibility of a pseudogene. +.PP +Now that the mRNA is completely covered by the set of alignments, the +boundaries of the alignments (there should be one alignment per exon +now) are adjusted so that the alignments abut each other precisely and +so that they are adjacent to good splice donor and acceptor sites. +Most commonly, two adjacent exons' alignments overlap by as much as 20 +or 30 base pairs on the mRNA sequence. The true exon boundary may lie +anywhere within this overlap, or (as we have seen empirically) even a +few base pairs outside the overlap. To position the exon boundaries, +the overlap plus a few base pairs on each side is examined for splice +donor sites, using functions that have different splice matrices +depending on the organism chosen. The top few splice donor sites (by +score) are then evaluated as to how much they affect the original +alignment boundaries. The site that affects the boundaries the least +is chosen, and is evaluated as to the presence of an acceptor site. +The alignments are truncated or extended as necessary so that they +terminate at the splice donor site and so that they do not overlap. +.SS Final result +The windows are examined carefully to get the percent identity per +exon, the number of gaps per exon, the overall percent identity, the +percent coverage of the mRNA, presence of an aligning or non-aligning +poly(A) tail, number of splice donor sites and the presence or absence +of splice donor and acceptor sites for each exon, and the occurrence +of an mRNA that has a 5' or 3' end (or both) that does not align to +the genomic sequence. If the overall percent identity and percent +length coverage are above the user-defined cutoffs, a summary report +is printed, and, if requested, a text alignment showing identities and +mismatches is also printed. +.SS Interspecies alignments +\fBspidey\fP is capable of performing interspecies alignments. The +major difference in interspecies alignments is that the mRNA-genomic +identity will not be close to 100% as it is in intraspecies +alignments; also, the alignments have numerous and lengthy gaps. If +\fBspidey\fP is used in its normal mode to do interspecies alignments, +it produces gene models with many, many short exons. When the +interspecies flag is set, \fBspidey\fP uses different BLAST parameters +to encourage longer and more gaps and to not penalize as heavily for +mismatches. This way, the alignments for the exons are much longer +and more closely approximate the actual gene structure. +.SS Extracting CDS alignments +When \fBspidey\fP is run in network-aware mode or when ASN.1 files are +used for the mRNA records, it is capable of extracting a CDS alignment +from an mRNA alignment and printing the CDS information also. Since +the CDS alignment is just a subset of the mRNA alignment, it is +relatively straightforward to truncate the exon alignments as +necessary and to generate a CDS alignment. Furthermore, the +untranslated regions are now defined, so the percent identity for the +5' and 3' untranslated regions is also calculated. +.PP +.SH OPTIONS +A summary of options is included below. +.TP +\fB\-\fP +Print usage message. +.TP +\fB\-F\fP\ \fIN\fP +Start of genomic interval desired (from; 0-based). +.TP +\fB\-G\fP +Input file is a GI list. +.TP +\fB\-L\fP\ \fIN\fP +The extra-large intron size to use (default = 220000). +.TP +\fB\-M\fP\ \fIfilename\fP +File with donor splice matrix. +.TP +\fB\-N\fP\ \fIfilename\fP +File with acceptor splice matrix. +.TP +\fB\-R\fP\ \fIfilename\fP +File (including path) to repeat blast database for filtering. +.TP +\fB\-S\fP\ \fIp/m\fP +Restrict to plus (p) or minus (m) strand of genomic sequence. +.TP +\fB\-T\fP\ \fIN\fP +Stop of genomic interval desired (to; 0-based). +.TP +\fB\-X\fP +Use extra-large intron sizes (increases the limit for initial and +terminal introns from 100kb to 240kb and for all others from 35kb to +120kb); may result in significantly longer compute times. +.TP +\fB\-a\fP\ \fIfilename\fP +Output file for alignments when directed to a separate file with +\fB-p\ 3\fP (default = spidey.aln). +.TP +\fB\-c\fP\ \fIN\fP +Identity cutoff, in percent, for quality control purposes. +.TP +\fB\-d\fP +Also try to align coding sequences corresponding to the given mRNA +records (may require network access). +.TP +\fB\-e\fP\ \fIX\fP +First-pass e-value (default = 1.0e-10).
