Exon and intron detection in human genomic DNA

by James Keith Miller

Publisher: ProQuest / UMI
Publication Date: Saturday, March 18, 2006
Number of Pages: 160
ISBN: 0542154447


Book Summary:
The exponential growth of raw genomic data demands a shift from biological methods of gene annotation to more computational and mathematical methods. We present a novel computational approach using likelihood ratios which we call the multi-window method. DNA n-tuple frequencies are collected from a training set of known exons and introns. Likelihood ratios, based on these n-tuple frequencies within a window of nucleotides, are used to predict the position of a nucleotide. This position either indicates the location within a codon for exon nucleotides, or indicates that the nucleotide is from an intron. We also compare the sensitivity and specificity of this method with a simple hidden Markov model which captures many of the same features as our multi-window method.
