A thermodynamic approach to designing structure-free combinatorial DNA word sets
An algorithm is presented for the generation of sets of non-interacting DNA sequences, employing existing thermodynamic models for the prediction of duplex stabilities and secondary structures. A DNA 'word' structure is employed in which individual DNA 'words' of a given length (e.g. 12mer and 16mer) may be concatenated into longer sequences (e.g. four tandem words and six tandem words). This a...
متن کاملOn combinatorial DNA word design
We consider the problem of designing DNA codes, namely sets of equi-length words over the alphabet [A, C, G, T] that satisfy certain combinatorial constraints. This problem is motivated by the task of reliably storing and retrieving information in synthetic DNA strands for use in DNA computing or as molecular bar codes in chemical libraries. The primary constraints that we consider, defined wit...
متن کاملCharacter-free approach to progression-free sets
We present an elementary combinatorial argument showing that the density of a progression-free set in a finite r-dimensional vector space is O(1/r).
متن کاملDesigning a structure/agency approach to transnationalism
Research on post-migration processes usually focuses either on micro-level behaviours or on macro-level interactions between states and their diasporas. This paper aims to fill a gap by proposing a structure/agency approach likely to address the micro-, mesoand macrolevel factors that account for cross-border phenomena. The first section compares the main structure/agency approaches (Bourdieu’s...
متن کاملFrom RNA Secondary Structure to Coding Theory: A Combinatorial Approach
We use combinatorial analysis to transform a special case of the computational problem of designing RNA base sequences with a given minimal free energy secondary structure into a coding theory question. The function of RNA molecules is largely determined by their molecular form, which in turn is significantly related to the base pairings of the secondary structure. Hence, this is crucial initia...
