Detection of Recombination in Variable Number Tandem Repeat Sequences

Tandem repeats are repeated sequences whose copies are adjacent along the chromosomes. They account for large portion of eukaryotic genomes and are found in all types of living organisms. Among tandem repeats, those with repeat unit of middle size …

A First Step Towards Chromosome Analysis by Compression Algorithms

In this paper, we use Kolmogorov complexity and compression algorithms to study DOS-DNA (DOS: defined ordered sequence). This approach gives quantitative and qualitative explanations of the regularities of apparently regular regions. We present the …
