Shannon information (SI) and its special case, divergence, are defined for a DNA sequence in terms of probabilities of chemical words in the sequence and are computed for a set of complete genomes highly diverse in length and composition.…

We propose and apply a novel paradigm for characterization of genome data quality, which quantifies the effects of intentional degradation of quality. The rationale is that the higher the initial quality, the more fragile the genome and the…

In Grammatical Error Correction (GEC), sequence labeling models enjoy fast inference compared to sequence-to-sequence models; however, inference in sequence labeling GEC models is an iterative process, as sentences are passed to the model…

The problem of differentiating the informational content of coding (exons) and non-coding (introns) regions of a DNA sequence is one of the central problems of genomics. The introns are estimated to be nearly 95% of the DNA and since they…

We study the amount of reliable information that can be stored in a DNA-based storage system with noisy sequencing, where each codeword is composed of short DNA molecules. We analyze a concatenated coding scheme, where the outer code is…

High-throughput sequencing (HTS) technologies have revolutionized the field of genomics, enabling rapid and cost-effective genome analysis for various applications. However, the increasing volume of genomic data generated by HTS…

Genome sequencing has become a central focus in computational biology. A genome study typically begins with sequencing, which produces millions to billions of short DNA fragments known as reads. Read mapping aligns these reads to a…

DNA emerges as a promising medium for the exponential growth of digital data due to its density and durability. This study extends recent research by addressing the \emph{coverage depth problem} in practical scenarios, exploring optimal…

Motivation: Next Generation Sequencing technologies revolutionized many fields in biology by enabling the fast and cheap sequencing of large amounts of genomic data. The ever increasing sequencing capacities enabled by current sequencing…

DNA is an attractive candidate for data storage. Its millennial durability and nanometer scale offer exceptional data density and longevity. Its relevance to medical applications also drives advances in DNA-related biotechnology. To protect…

It is shown that metric representation of DNA sequences is one-to-one. By using the metric representation method, suppression of nucleotide strings in the DNA sequences is determined. For a DNA sequence, an optimal string length to display…

Whole and targeted sequencing of human genomes is a promising, increasingly feasible tool for discovering genetic contributions to risk of complex diseases. A key step is calling an individual's genotype from the multiple aligned short read…

DNA read mapping is a computationally expensive bioinformatics task, required for genome assembly and consensus polishing. It requires to find the best-fitting location for each DNA read on a long reference sequence. A novel resistive…

In recent years, sequence-to-sequence models have been very effective for end-to-end grammatical error correction (GEC). As creating human-annotated parallel corpus for GEC is expensive and time-consuming, there has been work on artificial…

In differential expression (DE) analysis of RNA-seq count data, it is known that genes with a larger read number are more likely to be differentially expressed. This bias has a profound effect on the subsequent Gene Ontology (GO) analysis…

Composite DNA is a recent method to increase the base alphabet size in DNA-based data storage.This paper models synthesizing and sequencing of composite DNA and introduces coding techniques to correct substitutions, losses of entire…

Reducing the cost of sequencing genomes provided by next-generation sequencing technologies has greatly increased the number of genomic projects. As a result, there is a growing need for better assembly and assembly validation methods. One…

A method for encoding information in DNA sequences is described. The method is based on the precision-resolution framework, and is aimed to work in conjunction with a recently suggested terminator-free template independent DNA synthesis…

Next Generation Sequencing can sample the whole genome (WGS) or the 1-2% of the genome that codes for proteins called the whole exome (WES). Machine learning approaches to variant calling achieve high accuracy in WGS data, but the reduced…

The tremdendous advances in high-throughput sequencing technologies have made population-scale sequencing as performed in the 1000 Genomes project and the Genome of the Netherlands project possible. Next-generation sequencing has allowed…
