DNA sequence analysis using digital signal processing requires conversion of a base sequence to a numerical sequence. The choice of the numerical representation of a DNA sequence affects how well its biological properties can be reflected in the numerical domain for the detection and identification of the characteristics of special regions of interest. This paper presents some selected methods of DNA numerical representation for DNA sequence analysis, discusses their relative merits and demerits, and includes some concluding remarks.
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.
