A mathematical consideration of the word-composition vector method in comparison of biological sequences.

Bio Systems - 1 Nov 2011

Aita Takuyo, Husimi Yuzuru, Nishigaki Koichi

Abstract excerpt

To measure the similarity or dissimilarity between two given biological sequences, several papers proposed metrics based on the "word-composition vector". The essence of these metrics is as follows. First, we count the appearance frequencies of all the K-tuple words throughout each of two given sequences. Then, the two given sequences are transformed into their respective word-composition vectors. Next, the...
