G. Dodin et al., Fourier and wavelet transform analysis, a tool for visualizing regular patterns in DNA sequences, J THEOR BIO, 206(3), 2000, pp. 323-326
A correlation function that compares each base in a DNA sequence to its var
ious neighbours and which is subsequently processed by Fourier and wavelet
transforms has been developed. The procedure has been applied to sequences
from the human chromosome 22, to nef genes from various HIV clones and to m
yosin heavy chain DNA. It permits to readily visualize regular features in
DNA which are related to the stability of heteroduplexes formed upon strand
slippage. (C) 2000 Academic Press.
