Techniques for Multiple Sequence Alignments
Hrazdil, Jiří ; Martínek, Tomáš (referee) ; Burgetová, Ivana (advisor)
This thesis summarizes ways of representation of biological sequences and file formats used for sequence exchange and storage. Next part deals with techniques used for sequence pairwise alignment, followed by extension of these techniques to the problem of multiple sequence alignment. Additional methods are introduced, that are suboptimal, but on the other hand are able to compute results in reasonable time. Practical part of this thesis consists of implementing multiple sequence alignment application in Java programming language.

Evaluation of Organisms Relationship by Genomic Signal Processing
Škutková, Helena ; Tkacz, Ewaryst (referee) ; Schwarz,, Daniel (referee) ; Provazník, Ivo (advisor)
This dissertation deals with alternative techniques for analysis of genetic information of organisms. The theoretical part presents two different approaches for evaluation of relationship between organisms based on mutual similarity of genetic information contained in their DNA sequences. The first approach is currently standardized phylogenetics analysis of character based records of DNA sequences. Although this approach is computationally expensive due to the need of multiple sequence alignment, it allows evaluation of global and local similarity of DNA sequences. The second approach is represented by techniques for classification of DNA sequences in a form of numerical vectors representing characteristic features of their genetic information. These methods known as „alignment free“ allow fast evaluation of global similarity but cannot evaluate local changes. The new method presented in this dissertation combines the advantages of both approaches. It utilizes numerical representation similar to 1D digital signal, i.e. representation that contains specific trend along x-axis. The experimental part of dissertation deals with design of a set of appropriate tools for genomic signal processing to allow evaluation mutual similarity of taxonomically specific trends. On the basis of the mutual similarity of genomic signals, the classification in the form of dendrogram is applied. It corresponds to phylogenetic trees used in standard phylogenetics.
