    Area of Science:

    • Bioinformatics
    • Computational Biology
    • Molecular Biology

    Background:

    • Analysis of nucleic acid sequences is crucial for understanding genetic information.
    • Identifying homologous regions and specific sequence motifs aids in functional prediction.
    • Existing tools may lack the comprehensive features for detailed sequence analysis.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce a versatile computer program for nucleic acid sequence analysis.
    • To enable the identification of common oligonucleotides and homologous regions within DNA and RNA sequences.
    • To demonstrate the program's utility in analyzing genetic regulatory elements.

    Main Methods:

    • The program searches for common oligonucleotides across multiple sequences.
    • It identifies homologous regions, including repetitions and dyad symmetries, allowing for mismatches.
    • Functional analysis includes identifying GC-rich regions, restriction sites, and nucleotide distributions.

    Main Results:

    • Analysis of prokaryotic transcription termination sequences revealed conserved features: a poly-T tract, a preceding CGGGC motif, and dyad symmetry.
    • The Escherichia coli trp operon sequence exhibited two strong dyad symmetries at known regulatory sites.
    • These findings highlight the program's ability to detect significant biological patterns.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed program offers a powerful tool for comprehensive nucleic acid sequence analysis.
    • It effectively identifies conserved motifs and regulatory elements in prokaryotic and other genetic sequences.
    • The program facilitates a deeper understanding of molecular mechanisms through sequence pattern recognition.
