To Release or Not to Release: Evaluating Information Leaks in Aggregate Human-Genome Data
The rapid progress of human genome studies leads to a strong demand of aggregate human DNA data (e.g, allele frequencies, test statistics, etc.), whose public dissemination, howeve...

Probabilistic topic modeling for genomic data interpretation
Recently, the concept of a species containing both core and distributed genes, known as the supra- or pangenome theory, has been introduced. In this paper, we aim to develop a new ...

On the embedding capacity of DNA strands under substitution, insertion, and deletion mutations
A number of methods have been proposed over the last decade for embedding information within deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). Since a DNA sequence is conceptually equivalent to a unid...

Complexity Estimation of Genetic Sequences Using Information-Theoretic and Frequency Analysis Methods
The genetic information in cells is stored in DNA sequences, represented by a string of four letters, each corresponding to a definite type of nucleotides. Genomic DNA sequences a...

Finding Gapped Motifs by a Novel Evolutionary Algorithm
Background: Identifying approximately repeated patterns, or motifs, in DNA sequences from a set of co-regulated genes is an important step towards deciphering the complex gene reg...

Kangaroo - A pattern-matching program for biological sequences
Background: Biologists are often interested in performing a simple database search to identify proteins or genes that contain a well-defined sequence pattern. Many databases do no...

Detection of subtle variations as consensus motifs
We address the problem of detecting consensus motifs, that occur with subtle variations, across multiple sequences. These are usually functional domains in DNA sequences such as t...
