Nucleosome DNA sequence pattern revealed by multiple alignment of experimentally mapped sequences

I Ioshikhes, A Bolshoy, K Derenshteyn… - Journal of molecular …, 1996 - Elsevier
Five different algorithms have been applied for detecting DNA sequence pattern hidden in
204 DNA sequences collected from the literature which are experimentally found to be …

Curved DNA without AA: experimental estimation of all 16 DNA wedge angles.

A Bolshoy, P McNamara… - Proceedings of the …, 1991 - National Acad Sciences
The principal sequence feature responsible for intrinsic DNA curvature is generally assumed
to be runs of adenines. However, according to the wedge model of DNA curvature, each …

Sequence complexity profiles of prokaryotic genomic sequences: A fast algorithm for calculating linguistic complexity

…, O Arbell, Y Koren, GM Landau, A Bolshoy - …, 2002 - academic.oup.com
Motivation: One of the major features of genomic DNA sequences, distinguishing them from
texts in most spoken or artificial languages, is their high repetitiveness. Variation in the …

DNA sequence analysis linguistic tools: contrast vocabularies, compositional spectra and linguistic complexity.

A Bolshoy - Applied bioinformatics, 2003 - europepmc.org
This is a review of the methods based on counting oligomers in nucleotide and amino acid
sequences. Such methods are analogous to the formal linguistic analysis of human texts. This …

The method of N-grams in large-scale clustering of DNA texts

Z Volkovich, V Kirzhner, A Bolshoy, E Nevo, A Korol - Pattern recognition, 2005 - Elsevier
This paper is devoted to the techniques of clustering of texts based on the comparison of
vocabularies of N-grams. In contrast to the regular N-grams approach, the proposed N-grams …
