Analyzing DNA Strings using Information Theory Concepts

Abstract

The networks of interdependencies between elements in building projects, referred to as the project topology, are often complex and difficult for project teams to comprehend. It is hypothesized that a graph-based model of the project topology can be based on existing data in Building Information Models (BIM), facilitating the application of graph-theoretic algorithms to analyze this topology. The objective of this study is to propose an outline for the synthesis of BIM and graph theory. This synthesis is expected to contribute to the development of new tools for representing, managing and analyzing the design of building projects.

Phylogenetics Algorithms and Applications

“…Phylogenetic tree generation consists of sequence alignment where the resulting tree reveals how alignment can influence the tree formation. Alignment-based methodologies are probably the most widely used tools in sequence analysis problems [4]. They consist of arranging two sequences: one on the top of another to highlight their common symbols and substrings.…”
