A novel way to numerically characterize DNA sequences and its application

construction and validation of translation metacognitive strategy questionnaire and its application to translation quality

like any other learning activity, translation is a problem solving activity which involves executing parallel cognitive processes. the ability to think about these higher processes, plan, organize, monitor and evaluate the most influential executive cognitive processes is what flavell (1975) called “metacognition” which encompasses raising awareness of mental processes as well as using effectiv...

Maximal repetitions and Application to DNA sequences

In this paper we describe an implementation of Main-Kolpakov-Kucherov algorithm [9] of linear-time search for maximal repetitions in sequences. We first present a theoretical background and sketch main components of the method. We also discuss how the method can be generalized to finding approximate repetitions. Then we discuss implementation decisions and present test examples of running the p...

Signal search analysis: a new method to localize and characterize functionally important DNA sequences

The generation of "signal search data" represents a general method of describing the common properties of a set of DNA sequences presumed to be functionally analogous. Besides the detailed description of this method we present two computer programs which use signal search data as input data: One that processes them to a "constraint profile" and another one which lists over-represented "signals"...

Application of Spectral Analysis to DNA Sequences

I11 t.his article, the spectral ailalysis of cat,egorical time series is applied t,o t,he st.udy of DNA sequences. By ineails of t,lle st,udy of the spectral eilvelope for a ho~nologous DNA seglneilt from five different, pri1nat.e species, some global crit,eria are proposed to measure their similarity: and some iilforinat,ion concerning t,heir evolut,ioilary origin is obt,ained.
