Pattern Discovery
Broňa Brejová, Tomáš Vinař, Ming Li · Humana Press eBooks · 2003
A pattern is a feature that occurs repeatedly in biological sequences, typically more often than expected at random. Patterns often correspond to functionally or structurally important elements in proteins and DNA sequences. Pattern discovery is one of the fundamental problems in bioinformatics. It has applications in multiple sequence alignment, protein structure and function prediction, drug target discovery, characterization of protein families, and promoter signal detection. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
