Detecting particular features in C. elegans genomes using synchronous analysis based on wavelet transform.

In this paper, synchronous analysis based on wavelet transform is applied to genomic sequences. To focus on the particular feature of periodicity 3 in the protein-coding region of genes, a coding method is applied on the sequence, which will be segmented to form a pitch synchronous representation. This modelling concept captures period of period fluctuation of signals. The wavelet transform enhances the periodicity, and a given threshold is used to make decision about exon's positions. The algorithm simulation shows the accuracy of the method in simultaneously locating exons and revealing the reading frame associated.
