DB-Curve: a novel 2D method of DNA sequence visualization and representation
نویسندگان
چکیده
The large number of bases in a DNA sequence and the cryptic nature of the 4-alphabet representation make graphical visualization of DNA sequences useful for biologists. However, existing 3D graphical representations are complicated, whereas existing 2D graphical representations suffer from high degeneracy, and many features in a DNA sequence cannot be visualized clearly. This Letter introduces a novel 2D method of DNA representation: the DB-Curve (Dual-Base Curve), which overcomes some of the limitations in existing 2D graphical representations. Many properties of DNA sequences can be observed and visualized easily using a combination of DB-Curves. The new representation can avoid degeneracy completely compared to existing 2D graphical representations of DNA sequences. Unlike 3D graphical representations, no 2D projection is required for the DB-Curve, and this allows for easier analysis of DNA sequences. The DB-Curve provides a useful graphical tool for the visualization and study of DNA sequences. 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

The potential of different DNA based molecular markers was examined for the detection of single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the waxy gene and a microsatellite (SSR) sequence closely linked to it in a collection of rice varieties. DNA was extracted from leaf samples of 68 different rice cultivars by the CTAB method and specific primers were designed for the amplification of waxy gene and SS...

In this paper, a new technique has been designed to capture the outline of 2D shapes using cubic B´ezier curves. The proposed technique avoids the traditional method of optimizing the global squared fitting error and emphasizes the local control of data points. A maximum error has been determined to preserve the absolute fitting error less than a criterion and it administers the process of curv...

With the advent of cheap indoor RGB-D sensors, proper representation of piecewise planar depth images is crucial toward an effective compression method. Although there exist geometrical wavelets for optimal representation of piecewise constant and piecewise linear images (i.e. wedgelets and platelets), an adaptation to piecewise linear fractional functions which correspond to depth variation ov...
