Abstract: Comparative proteomics can augment understanding of protein function, the relationship between organisms, and certain evolutionary processes, through comparison of the proteomes of different organisms. When protein sequences are ordered according to the underlying encoding chromosomal DNA, functional correspondence can be inferred for regions of correspondence between two or more proteomes. The ability to align proteomes gene product by gene product is thus a crucial tool in comparative proteomics. Currently, proteome alignments are mainly performed manually using information from an ensemble of tools. However, as more and more genomic data becomes available it is desirable that such comparisons are performed robustly, rapidly and automatically.
