    This study extends sequence analysis methods to multiple DNA and protein sequences, identifying common patterns and relationships. It characterizes shared words and long block identities for biological sequence comparison.

    Area of Science:

    • Bioinformatics
    • Computational Biology
    • Genomics

    Background:

    • Existing methods for analyzing patterns in biological sequences were limited.
    • The need for robust tools to compare multiple DNA and protein sequences is critical for understanding biological functions.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To extend existing sequence analysis concepts for multiple DNA and protein sequences.
    • To develop methods for characterizing shared patterns and identities within and across sequences.

    Main Methods:

    • Applied and extended existing sequence analysis frameworks.
    • Utilized common word occurrence distributions and high-frequency shared word characterizations.
    • Employed grouping of nucleotides/amino acids by chemical and functional properties to create natural alphabets for comparison.
