This study proposes an extension of k-tuple method which utilizes the ratio of frequency of common sub words of length k to compare two sequences. The proposed method has two stages. stage 1 extracts feature from the sequence to obtain distance matrix and stage 2 obtains clusters from similarity matrix. The proposed method is tested on four datasets and the results are compared with those of k-tuple and tree generated using clustalw. Purity of tree and symmetric distance between the tree generated from proposed method and alignment based methods have also been computed. The results of proposed method are also compared with Composition Vector and k-tuple.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
