This study introduces novel computational and statistical methods for analyzing DNA and protein sequences, focusing on identifying genomic inhomogeneities. These techniques enhance our understanding of sequence composition, evolution, and the organization of functional elements across diverse genomes.

Area of Science:

  • Bioinformatics
  • Computational Biology
  • Genomics

Background:

  • DNA and protein sequence analysis is crucial for understanding biological processes.
  • Identifying variations and patterns within and between sequences is essential for genomic research.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present new criteria and methods for assessing and interpreting genomic inhomogeneities.
  • To provide tools for analyzing sequence composition, evolutionary relationships, and the distribution of genomic features.
  • To illustrate these methods using various genomic datasets.

Main Methods:

  • Characterization of oligonucleotide biases and compositional tendencies.
  • Molecular evolutionary reconstructions using dinucleotide relative abundance and partial orderings.
