An Algorithm for Hierarchical Classification of Genes of Prokaryotic Genomes
We present in this paper our hierarchical classification of genes for prokaryotic genomes from a methodological point of view. Our classification scheme is unique in that (1) the functional equivalence relatio...

Open AccessBarcodes for genomes and applications
Each genome has a stable distribution of the combined frequency for each k-mer and its reverse complement measured in sequence fragments as short as 1000 bps across the whole genome, for 1<k<6. The collection of ...

Open AccessComputational prediction of the osmoregulation network in Synechococcus sp. WH8102
Osmotic stress is caused by sudden changes in the impermeable solute concentration around a cell, which induces instantaneous water flow in or out of the cell to balance the concentration. Very little is known...
