APPLICATION OF INFORMATION THEORY TO DNA SEQUENCE ANALYSIS - A REVIEW

摘要

The analysis of DNA sequences through information theory methods is reviewed from the beginning in the 70s. The subject is addressed within a broad context, describing in some detail the cornerstone contributions in the field. The emerging interest concerning long-range correlations and the mosaic structure of DNA sequences is considered from our own point of view. A recent procedure developed by the authors is also outlined. Copyright (C) 1996 Pattern Recognition Society. [References: 28]
