Second-Order Comparison of Gaussian Random Functions and the Geometry of DNA Minicircles
نویسندگان
چکیده
Given two samples of continuous zero-mean iid Gaussian processes on [0,1], we consider the problem of testing whether they share the same covariance structure. Our study is motivated by the problem of determining whether the mechanical properties of short strands of DNA are significantly affected by their base-pair sequence; though expected to be true, had so far not been observed in three-dimensional electron microscopy data. The testing problem is seen to involve aspects of ill-posed inverse problems and a test based on a Karhunen– Loève approximation of the Hilbert–Schmidt distance of the empirical covariance operators is proposed and investigated. When applied to a dataset of DNA minicircles obtained through the electron microscope, our test seems to suggest potential sequence effects on DNA shape. Supplemental material available online.

متن کاملNumerical solution of second-order stochastic differential equations with Gaussian random parameters
In this paper, we present the numerical solution of ordinary differential equations (or SDEs), from each order especially second-order with time-varying and Gaussian random coefficients. We indicate a complete analysis for second-order equations in special case of scalar linear second-order equations (damped harmonic oscillators with additive or multiplicative noises). Making stochastic differe...
متن کاملThe topology of the kinetoplast DNA network
Kinetoplast DNA (kDNA) of trypanosomatid parasites is a network of approximately 5000 catenated DNA minicircles and approximately 25 maxicircles. We developed the following strategy to deduce the topological linkage of the minicircles of the Crithidia fasciculata network. First, we used graph theory to provide precise models of possible network structures. Second, on the basis of these models, ...

In recent years, estimation of protein-coding regions in numerical deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) sequences using signal processing tools has been a challenging issue in bioinformatics, owing to their 3-base periodicity. Several digital signal processing (DSP) tools have been applied in order to Identify the task and concentrated on assigning numerical values to the symbolic DNA sequence, then app...
