Low-complexity regions are regions in the sequence with only a few amino acids, which in turn, causes redundancy within that small or limited region. A feature that will cause a very different result on the dot plot is the presence of low-complexity region/regions. The presence of one of these features, or the presence of multiple features, will cause for multiple lines to be plotted in a various possibility of configurations, depending on the features present in the sequences. Frame shifts include insertions, deletions, and mutations. This relationship is affected by certain sequence features such as frame shifts, direct repeats, and inverted repeats. The closeness of the sequences in similarity will determine how close the diagonal line is to what a graph showing a curve demonstrating a direct relationship is. Once the dots have been plotted, they will combine to form lines. Also note, that the direction of the sequences on the axes will determine the direction of the line on the dot plot. Note, that the sequences can be written backwards or forwards, however the sequences on both axes must be written in the same direction. When the residues of both sequences match at the same location on the plot, a dot is drawn at the corresponding position. This is effective because the probability of matching three residues in a row by chance is much lower than single-residue matches.ĭot plots compare two sequences by organizing one sequence on the x-axis, and another on the y-axis, of a plot. a tuple of 3 corresponds to three residues in a row. One way of reducing this noise is to only shade runs or ' tuples' of residues, e.g. Regions of local similarity or repetitive sequences give rise to further diagonal matches in addition to the central diagonal. Insertions and deletions between sequences give rise to disruptions in this diagonal. Identical proteins will obviously have a diagonal line in the center of the matrix. Some idea of the similarity of the two sequences can be gleaned from the number and length of matching segments shown in the matrix. For a simple visual representation of the similarity between two sequences, individual cells in the matrix can be shaded black if residues are identical, so that matching sequence segments appear as runs of diagonal lines across the matrix. These were introduced by Gibbs and McIntyre in 1970 and are two-dimensional matrices that have the sequences of the proteins being compared along the vertical and horizontal axes. One way to visualize the similarity between two protein or nucleic acid sequences is to use a similarity matrix, known as a dot plot. In bioinformatics a dot plot is a graphical method for comparing two biological sequences and identifying regions of close similarity after sequence alignment. The main diagonal represents the sequence's alignment with itself lines off the main diagonal represent similar or repetitive patterns within the sequence.
