The unravelling of human genome sequence gives a new opportunity to investigate the role of repetitive sequences in gene regulation. Among the various types of repetitive sequences, the dinucleotide (TG:CA)(n) repeats are one of the most abundant in …
The first draft of the human genome has revealed enormous variability in the global distribution of Alu repeat elements. There are regions such as the four homeobox gene clusters, which are nearly devoid of these repeats that contrast with repeat …
Analysis of sequence complexities of proteins is an important step in the characterization and classification of new genomes. A new measure has been proposed to compute sequence complexity in protein sequences based on linguistic complexity. The …
We have analysed the genomes of representatives of three kingdoms of life, namely, archaea, eubacteria and eukaryota using data mining tools based on compositional analyses of the protein sequences. The representatives chosen in this analysis were …
