A DNA molecule can be viewed as a text written in four letters: A, T, G, and C. As we know, this text contains the genetic message of a living organism. The sequence of letters in the text cannot be very regular (otherwise it would carry very little information). To an observer who does not know the

We have used an improved block-entropy measure in order to gain some further insights into the short-range correlations present in whole chromosomes of S. cerevisiae, viruses and organelles and very large genomic regions of E. coli. Although DNA sequences are largely inhomogeneous and word frequenci
The paper describes a package of APL-programs suited for the management and the analysis of DNA sequence data. Most of the application programs are related to experimental work in a DNA sequencing laboratory: Search for overlapping DNA fragments to construct complete DNA sequences; search for restri
After reviewing approaches to the nucleotide correlation of DNA sequences the preferential mode analysis method is emphasized and discussed in detail. The preferred modes and poor modes in coding regions, as well as in introns, 5'-caps and 3'-tails are found through the statistical analysis of seque
