Résumé
Alternative splicing is a ubiquitous process in eukaryotes that allows distinct transcripts to be produced from the same gene. Yet, the study of transcript evolution within a gene family is still in its infancy. One prerequisite for this study is the availability of methods to compare sets of transcripts while accounting for their splicing structure. In this context, we generalize the concept of pairwise spliced alignments (PSpAs) to multiple spliced alignments (MSpAs). MSpAs have several important purposes in addition to empowering the study of the evolution of transcripts. For instance, it is a key to improving the prediction of gene models, which is important to solve the growing problem of genome annotation. Despite its essentialness, a formal definition of the concept and methods to compute MSpAs are still lacking. We introduce the MSpA problem and the SplicedFamAlignMulti (SFAM) method, to compute the MSpA of a gene family. Like most multiple sequence alignment (MSA) methods that are generally greedy heuristic methods assembling pairwise alignments, SFAM combines all PSpAs of coding DNA sequences and gene sequences of a gene family into an MSpA. It produces a single structure that represents the superstructure and models of the gene family. Using real vertebrate and simulated gene family data, we illustrate the utility of SFAM for computing accurate gene family superstructures, MSAs, inferring splicing orthologous groups and improving gene-model annotations. The supporting data and implementation of SFAM are freely available at https://github.com/UdeS-CoBIUS/SpliceFamAlignMulti. Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics Advances online.
