Recognition of motifs in multiple unaligned sequences provides an insight into protein structure and function. The task of discovering these motifs is very challenging because mos...
A wavelet transform of the DNA "walk" constructed from a genomic sequence offers a direct visualization of short and long-range patterns in nucleotide sequences. We stud...
