چکیده

An interactive tool to visualize the K-string composition of long DNA sequences including bacterial complete genomes is described. It is especially useful for exploring short palindromic structures in the sequences. The SeeDNA program runs on Red Hat Linux with GTK+ support. It displays two-dimensional (2D) or one-dimensional (1D) histograms of the K-string distribution of a given sequence and/or its randomized counterpart. It is also capable of showing the difference of K-string distributions between two sequences. The C source code using the GTK+ package is freely available.

انتخاب کوچکترین ابر رشته در DNA با استفاده از الگوریتم ازدحام ذرّات

A DNA string can be supposed a very long string on alphabet with 4 letters. Numerous scientists attempt in decoding of this string. since this string is very long , a shorter section of it that have overlapping on each other will be decoded .There is no information for the right position of these sections on main DNA string. It seems that the shortest string (substring of the main DNA string) i...

The Comparison of different Procedures for DNA extraction from paraffin-embedded Tissues: A commercial kit and a traditional method based on heating

Abstract Background and objectives: Paraffin-embedded tissues and clinical samples are a valuable resource for molecular genetic studies, but the extraction of high-quality genomic DNA from this tissues is still a problematic issue. In the Present study, the efficiency of two DNA extraction protocols, a commercial kit and a traditional method based on heating and K Proteinase was compared. Mate...

Sequence World: A Genetics Database in Virtual Reality

Proper information visualization has always been viewed as an important tool for research. Traditionally, however, it was regarded as only a tool, with information content and visualization analogous to an object and its representation, respectively. These days, visualization is increasingly seen as an integral part of information content, without which data collections may lose significant val...

Molecular and Bioinformatics Analysis of Allelic Diversity in IGFBP2 Gene Promoter in Indigenous Makuee and Lori-Bakhtiari Sheep Breeds

The aim of this study was to perform molecular and bioinformatics analysis of IGFBP2 gene promoter in association with some economic traits in indigenous Makuee (MS) and Lori-Bakhtiari (LB) breeds. DNA was extracted from blood samples of 120 MS and 200 LB and a 297 bp fragment from the upstream sequences of studied gene was amplified and genotyped by single-strand conformational polymo...

Computing Display Conflicts in String Visualization

Strings are used to represent a variety of objects such as DNA sequences, text, and numerical sequences. A model for a system for the visualization and analysis of strings was proposed in 1]. In this paper, we present algorithms which implement some of the queries supported by this model.
