The composition of naturally occurring DNA sequences is often strikingly heterogeneous. In this paper, the DNA sequence is viewed as a stochastic process with local compositional properties determined by the states of a hidden Markov chain. The model used is a discrete-state, discreteoutcome version
Malignant brain tumors consist of a number of distinct subclonal populations. Each of these subpopulations may be characterized by its own behaviors and properties. These subpopulations arise from the constant genetic and epigenetic alteration of existing cells in the rapidly growing tumor. However,
