Power-law distributions are the main functional form for the distribution of repeat size and
repeat copy number in the human genome. When the genome is broken into fragments for …

The pathogenic fungus Pestalotiopsis versicolor is a major etiological agent of fungal twig
blight disease affecting bayberry trees. However, the lack of complete genome sequence …

Finding repetitive structures in genomes and proteins is important to understand their
biological functions. Many data compressors for modern genomic sequences rely heavily on …

Motifs are frequent patterns used to identify biological functionality in genomic sequences,
periodicity in time series, or user trends in web logs. In contrast to a lot of existing work that …

Modern applications, including bioinformatics, time series, and web log analysis, require the
extraction of frequent patterns, called motifs, from one very long (ie, several gigabytes) …

Repetitive and redundant regions of a genome are particularly problematic for mapping
sequencing reads. In the present paper, we compile a list of the unmappable regions in the …

Enumerating characteristic substrings (eg, maximal repeats, minimal unique substrings, and
minimal absent words) in a given string has been an important research topic because there …

The identification of repetitive sequences (repeats) is an essential component of genome
sequence analysis, and the notions of maximal and supermaximal repeats capture all exact …

Generalizations of plain strings have been proposed as a compact way to represent a
collection of nearly identical sequences or to express uncertainty at specific text positions by …

Genome assemblies are typically compared with respect to their contiguity, coverage, and
accuracy. We propose a genome-wide, alignment-free genomic distance based on …
