The user can further specify a minimum coverage of the query by the PSI-BLAST matches. With a value of 50%, at least half of the query residues must be aligned (‘covered’) with residues from the matched sequence in order for it to enter into the profile. Similarly, a minimum sequence identity of the PSI-BLAST match to the query sequence can be demanded. Our benchmarks (data not published) have shown that a value between 20 and 25% improves selectivity without compromising sensitivity. The final alignment from PSI-BLAST is annotated with the predicted secondary structure and confidence values from PSIPRED (30 (link)).
In the next step, a profile HMM is generated from the multiple alignment that includes the information about predicted secondary structure. A profile HMM is a concise statistical description of the underlying alignment. For each column in the multiple alignment that has a residue in the query sequence, an HMM column is created that contains the probabilities of each of the 20 amino acids, plus 4 probabilities that describe how often amino acids are inserted and deleted at this position (insert open/extend, delete open/extend). These insert/delete probabilites are translated into position-specific gap penalties when an HMM is aligned to a sequence or to another HMM.
The query HMM is then compared with each HMM in the selected database. The database HMMs have been precalculated and also contain secondary structure information, either predicted by PSIPRED, or assigned from 3D structure by DSSP (31 (link)). The database search is performed with the HHsearch software for HMM–HMM comparison (28 (link)). Compared to methods that rely on pairwise comparison of simple sequence profiles, HHsearch gains sensitivity by using position-specific gap penalties. If the default setting ‘Score secondary structure’ is active, a score for the secondary structure similarity is added to the total score. This increases the sensitivity for homologous proteins considerably (28 (link)). As a possible drawback, it may lead to marginally significant scores for structurally analogous, but non-homologous proteins.
The user can choose between local and global alignment mode. In global mode alignments extend in both directions up to the end of either the query or the database HMM. No penalties are charged for end gaps. In local mode, the highest-scoring local alignment is determined, which can start and end anywhere with respect to the compared HMMs. It is recommended to use the local alignment mode as a default setting since it has been shown in our benchmarks to be on average more sensitive in detecting remote relationships as well as being more robust in the estimation of statistical significance values. A global search might be appropriate when one expects the database entries to be (at least marginally) similar over their full length with the query sequence. In most cases it will be advisable to run a search in both modes to gain confidence in one's results.
An organizing principle in many nonparametric testing protocols is that the repetition of an analysis multiple times enables the user to control for multiple testing, or to evaluate the quality of estimators or the optimal values of tuning parameters. Modern confirmatory analyses currently depend on these repeated analyses under various data perturbation schemes, of which resampling, permutations, and Monte Carlo simulations are the most common. For instance the bootstrap uses many thousands of analyses of resampled data to address problems such as statistical stability or bias estimation [69] , and can even provide confidence regions [69] for nonstandard parameters, such as phylogenetic trees [70] . Repeating analyses on permuted data can allow for control of the probability of encountering 1 or more false positives (falsely rejected nulls) among your group of simultaneous hypotheses, also called the Family Wise Error Rate (FWER). For instance, Westfall and Young's permutation-based

Example 5
This example describes the superior protection of plant comprising event MON 87411 from corn rootworm damage when compared to current commercial products (MON 88017 and DAS-59122-7) and negative control plants. Efficacy field trials were conducted comparing 135 plants each of event MON 87411, MON 88017, DAS-59122-7, and negative controls. Root damage ratings (RDR) were collected, and the percentage plants with an RDR less than the economic injury level (0.25 RDR) is shown in Table 8.
Table 8 shows that only about 4% of plants containing event MON 87411 exhibited RDRs greater than the economic threshold of 0.25 RDR. In contrast, 22% of the commercially available plants containing MON 88017 exhibited RDRs greater than the economic threshold of 0.25 RDR. And, 20% of the commercially available plants containing DAS-59122-7 exhibited RDRs greater than the economic threshold of 0.25 RDR. And, 96% of the negative control plants exhibited RDRs greater than the economic threshold of 0.25 RDR. The conclusion from these data is that event MON 87411 is clearly superior at providing protection from corn rootworm damage as compared to commercial products MON 88071 and DAS-59122-7, and a negative control.
Trial included 135 plants for each event tested.
Efficacy green house trials were conducted to test the performance of event MON 87411 with extreme infestation pressure of corn root worm. In this trial the following event were evaluated: event MON 87411, an event from transformation with DNA vector #890 expressing only the dsRNA; MON 88017; DAS-59122-7; and negative control. For these high-pressure efficacy trials, the corn plants under evaluation were grown in pots in a green house. Extreme infestation pressure was achieved by sequential infestation of each potted plant with approximately 2,000 WCR eggs per pot at their V2 growth stage, and, at 4 additional times occurring at 1 to 1½ week intervals with approximately 1,000 WCR eggs per pot per infestation for a total of approximately 6,000 WCR eggs added to each pot. Plant roots were removed, washed, and rated for RDR at their VT growth stage. The roots from all thirteen (N=13) negative control plants exhibited maximum root damage, or an absolute RDR of 3 RDR. These results illustrate that event MON 87411 is more superior to other corn events available for controlling corn rootworm (Table 9).
One measure of efficacy of corn rootworm transgenic events is by a determining the emergence of adult beetles from the potted soil of plants cultivated in a green house. To determine adult corn rootworm beetle emergence from the soil of event MON 87411 plants grown in pots, 10 to 15 plants were germinated in pots containing soil infested with WCR eggs, similar to that described above. Throughout the growth period, each corn plant was covered with mesh bag to contain any emerging adult beetles.
Counts of above ground adult beetles were made at 6, 12, and 18 weeks after plant emergence, and at the end of the trial the roots were evaluated for RDR. Plants containing event MON 87411 were compared to negative control plants, and other corn rootworm protective transgenic events. The results were that significantly fewer beetles were observed to emerge from soils in which event MON 87411 plants were potted compared to the other corn rootworm protective transgenic events, illustrating the superior properties of event MON 87411 to protect against corn rootworm damage.
For the PSA, as the main assumption, it was considered the deterministic input values in the parameter sheet as the mean values. As the standard errors of the cost items were not available, it was considered to mean value times by 0.1. Based on logical constraints, the probabilistic distribution for each of the different sources of uncertainty was defined. A gamma distribution for all cost items and a beta distribution for the utilities were defined. The PSA was conducted by drawing a random number for each of the input distributions and each time, the ICER was calculated by Excel. By running a macro, its action is repeated 1,000 times.
