DNA Strand Separation Prediction: A Parallel Implementation
نویسندگان
چکیده
The strand separation problem is that of calculating the probability of separation of each base pair in the DNA sequence under speci ed physical and chemical conditions. A computational method that performs an approximate statistical mechanical analysis of this phenomenon has previously been developed and shown to be accurate when compared

Evaluation of First and Second Markov Chains Sensitivity and Specificity as Statistical Approach for Prediction of Sequences of Genes in Virus Double Strand DNA Genomes
Growing amount of information on biological sequences has made application of statistical approaches necessary for modeling and estimation of their functions. In this paper, sensitivity and specificity of the first and second Markov chains for prediction of genes was evaluated using the complete double stranded DNA virus. There were two approaches for prediction of each Markov Model parameter,...
متن کاملParallelizing Assignment Problem with DNA Strands
Background:Many problems of combinatorial optimization, which are solvable only in exponential time, are known to be Non-Deterministic Polynomial hard (NP-hard). With the advent of parallel machines, new opportunities have been emerged to develop the effective solutions for NP-hard problems. However, solving these problems in polynomial time needs massive parallel machines and ...
متن کاملThe study of dose gamma rays of 192Ir source on DNA single strand break (SSB) and DNA double strand break (DSB) in soft tissue phantom
Introduction: Passage of ionizing radiation through the organs of living creatures develops clusters of damaged nucleotides inside the DNA rounds. 192Ir Gamma source is one of the most widely used sources in brachytherapy of cervical and prostate cancer. Thus, in this research, we investigated the flux of photons and its resulting secondary electrons, the single-strand break (S...
متن کاملA novel optical DNA biosensor for detection of trace concentration of Methylene blue using Gold nano-particles and Guanine rich single strand DNA
The glass surface modification with 3-(mercaptopropyl) trimethoxysilane (MPTS), gold nano-particles (GN) and guanine rich single strand DNA (ss-DNA) was utilized as a novel and efficient platform for sensing trace concentration of methylene blue (MB) by an inexpensive spectrophotometric method. Methylene Blue (MB) can interact with the guanine base of single strand DNA and absorbed onto glass s...
متن کاملRevealing the competition between peeled ssDNA, melting bubbles, and S-DNA during DNA overstretching by single-molecule calorimetry.
Double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) unconstrained by torsion undergoes an overstretching transition at about 65 pN, elongating the DNA to about 1.7-fold. Three possible structural transitions have been debated for the nature of DNA overstretching: (i) "peeling" apart of dsDNA to produce a peeled ssDNA strand under tension while the other strand coils, (ii) "inside-strand separation" of dsDNA to two par...
