    Area of Science:

    • Bioinformatics
    • Computational Biology
    • Data Visualization

    Background:

    • Identifying repeating sequences in biological data (nucleic acids, proteins) and other texts is crucial for understanding structure and function.
    • Existing methods for repeat detection can be computationally intensive and time-consuming.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop an efficient method for representing and visualizing the structure of repeating sequences.
    • To enable rapid identification of significant repeats within large datasets.

    Main Methods:

    • A novel visualization technique called 'sequence landscapes' is presented.
    • A data structure known as a Directed Acyclic Word Graph (DAWG) is employed to construct these landscapes.
    • The DAWG is built in time proportional to the sequence length.

    Main Results:

    • The sequence landscape visually represents subsequences as mountains, with peak values indicating repeat counts.
    • For a 40,000-base bacteriophage T7 genome, the DAWG construction took only 30 seconds.
    • Displaying any portion of the landscape requires less than a second.

    Conclusions:

    • Sequence landscapes offer a fast and intuitive way to locate significant repeats in large sequences.
    • This method enhances the analysis of biological sequences and other text-based data by simplifying repeat identification.
