Multiple sequence alignment plays a crucial role in extracting structural, functional, and evolutionary information from the exponentially growing sequence data from the ongoing genome sequencing. Based on the case study of retrotransposon sequence alignment, this thesis compares three alignment programs, DIALIGN, CLUSTALW, and PRRN, and proposes some strategies to improve alignment quality, su...
متن کاملRenyi Entropy Estimation Revisited
We revisit the problem of estimating entropy of discrete distributions from independent samples, studied recently by Acharya, Orlitsky, Suresh and Tyagi (SODA 2015), improving their upper and lower bounds on the necessary sample size n. For estimating Renyi entropy of order α, up to constant accuracy and error probability, we show the following Upper bounds n = O(1) · 2(1− 1 α )Hα for integer α...
