Information profiles for DNA pattern discovery

Armando J. Pinho, Diogo Pratas, Paulo J. S. G. Ferreira

Finite-context modeling is a powerful tool for compressing and hence for representing DNA sequences. We describe an algorithm to detect genomic regularities, within a blind discove…

A conditional compression distance that unveils insights of the genomic evolution

Diogo Pratas, Armando J. Pinho

We describe a compression-based distance for genomic sequences. Instead of using the usual conjoint information content, as in the classical Normalized Compression Distance (NCD),…
