Development of a Web-base Application to Detect Palindromes in DNA Sequence

摘要

Detecting palindromes in DNA sequence is a central problem in computational biology. Identifying palindromes could help scientists advance the understanding of genomic instability. DNA sequences containing long adjacent inverted repeats (palindromes) are inherently unstable and are associated with many types of chromosomal rearrangements. In this paper, we present a simple web-base tool to assist biologist detecting palindromes in DNA sequence.
