SEGMENT: identifying compositional domains in DNA sequences
1999
Bioinformatics
In a few simple sequences, domains can simply be identified by eye; however, most DNA sequences show a complex compositional heterogeneity (fractal structure), which cannot be properly detected by current ...
Motivation: DNA sequences are formed by patches or domains of different nucleotide composition. ...

New Stopping Criteria for Segmenting DNA Sequences
2001
Physical Review Letters
We propose a solution on the stopping criterion in segmenting inhomogeneous DNA sequences with complex statistical patterns. ...
The relationship between the average domain size and the threshold of segmentation strength is determined for several genome sequences. ...
Computational methods used to identify homogeneous regions are called segmentation procedures [2, 7] which are important for many DNA sequence analysis tasks: detecting the existence of isochores, identifying ...

Segmenting the Human Genome into Isochores
2015
Evolutionary Bioinformatics
The human genome is a mosaic of isochores, which are long (>200 kb) DNA sequences that are fairly homogeneous in base composition and can be assigned to five families comprising 33%-59% of GC composition ...
We present a critical discussion of the currently available methods and a new approach called isoSegmenter which allows segmenting the genome into isochores in a fast and completely automatic manner. ...
In view of the results of Figure 4 , isoPlotter can only be defined as an exercise in DNA sequence segmentation with no biological relevance (which, in fact, was not claimed), as indicated by the lack ...

Characterisation of Inactivation Domains and Evolutionary Strata in Human X Chromosome through Markov Segmentation
2009
PLoS ONE
Markov segmentation is a method of identifying compositionally different subsequences in a given symbolic sequence. ...
We have applied this technique to the DNA sequence of the human X chromosome to analyze its compositional structure. ...
In order to identify compositional elements that are potentially involved in effecting inactivation (or escape), the program TEIRESIAS [14] was used to identify patterns in the DNA sequences that are ...

Compositional segmentation and long-range fractal correlations in DNA sequences
1996
Physical review. E, Statistical physics, plasmas, fluids, and related interdisciplinary topics
Some of the identified DNA domains were uncorrelated, but most of them continued to display long-range correlations even after several steps of recursive segmentation, thus indicating a complex multi-length-scaled ...
On the other hand, by separately shuffling each segment, or by randomly rearranging the order in which the different segments occur in the sequence, shuffled sequences preserving the original statistical ...
Segmentation procedure Our aim is to divide a sequence into segments in such a way as to maximize the compositional divergence between the resulting DNA domains. ...

Applications of recursive segmentation to the analysis of DNA sequences

Computers and Chemistry
Recursive segmentation is a procedure that partitions a DNA sequence into domains with a homogeneous composition of the four nucleotides A, C, G and T. ...
We apply various conversion schemes in order to address the following five DNA sequence analysis problems: isochore mapping, CpG island detection, locating the origin and terminus of replication in bacterial ...

Detection of genomic islands via segmental genome heterogeneity
2009
Nucleic Acids Research
This approach is based on a generalized divergence measure to quantify the compositional difference between segments in a hypothesis-testing framework. ...
The weakness of these 'bottom-up' approaches lies in the difficulty in identifying robustly those genes which are atypical, or phylogenetically restricted, due to recent foreign ancestry. ...
Therefore, we conclude that the MJSD metric is robust in identifying segment boundaries within DNA sequences without regard to gene boundaries. ...

Segmentation of DNA sequences into twostate regions and melting fork regions
2008
Journal of Physics: Condensed Matter
In this paper, we introduce a new approach to identify the twostate regions and melting fork regions along a given DNA sequence. ...
Compared with an ad hoc segmentation used in one of our previous studies, the new algorithm is based on boundary probability profiles, rather than standard melting maps. ...
The stability and melting temperature of a domain not only depends on its internal sequence composition, but also on the stabilities of adjacent domains. ...
