Exon/Intron Discrimination Using the Finite Induction Pattern Matching Technique
Description:
DNA sequence analysis involves precise discrimination of two of the sequence's most important components: exons and introns. Exons encode the proteins that are responsible for almost all the functions in a living organism. Introns interrupt the sequence coding for a protein and must be removed from primary RNA transcripts before translation to protein can occur.
A pattern recognition technique called Finite Induction (FI) is utilized to study the language of exons and introns. FI is especially…
