Distinguishing regional from within-codon rate heterogeneity in DNA sequence alignments [PDF]
We present an improved phylogenetic factorial hidden Markov model (FHMM) for detecting two types of mosaic structures in DNA sequence alignments, related to (1) recombination and (2) rate heterogeneity.

Addressing the shortcomings of three recent bayesian methods for detecting interspecific recombination in DNA sequence alignments [PDF]
We address a potential shortcoming of three probabilistic models for detecting interspecific recombination in DNA sequence alignments: the multiple change-point model (MCP) of Suchard et al. (2003), the dual multiple change-point model (DMCP) of Minin et

Improved Bayesian methods for detecting recombination and rate heterogeneity in DNA sequence alignments [PDF]
DNA sequence alignments are usually not homogeneous. Mosaic structures may result as a consequence of recombination or rate heterogeneity. Interspecific recombination, in which DNA subsequences are transferred between different (typically viral or ...

A targeting sequence directs DNA methyltransferase to sites of DNA replication in mammalian nuclei [PDF]
Tissue-specific patterns of methylated deoxycytidine residues in the mammalian genome are preserved by postreplicative methylation of newly synthesized DNA. DNA methyltransferase (MTase) is here shown to associate with replication foci during S phase but

Review on the Application of Machine Learning Algorithms in the Sequence Data Mining of DNA
Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is a biological macromolecule. Its main function is information storage. At present, the advancement of sequencing technology had caused DNA sequence data to grow at an explosive rate, which has also pushed the study of DNA ...

Zinc finger recombinases with adaptable DNA sequence specificity [PDF]
Site-specific recombinases have become essential tools in genetics and molecular biology for the precise excision or integration of DNA sequences. However, their utility is currently limited to circumstances where the sites recognized by the recombinase ...

The white spot syndrome virus DNA genome sequence [PDF]
White spot syndrome virus (WSSV) is at present a major scourge to worldwide shrimp cultivation. We have determined the entire sequence of the double-stranded, circular DNA genome of WSSV, which contains 292,967 nucleotides encompassing 184 major open ...
