A string $w$ is said to be a minimal absent word (MAW) for a string $S$ if $w$ does not occur in $S$ and any proper substring of $w$ occurs in $S$. We focus on non-trivial MAWs which are of length at least 2. Finding such non-trivial MAWs…
A string $w$ is called a minimal absent word (MAW) for another string $T$ if $w$ does not occur (as a substring) in $T$ and any proper substring of $w$ occurs in $T$. State-of-the-art data structures for reporting the set $\mathsf{MAW}(T)$…
A string $w$ is called a minimal absent word (MAW) for a string $S$ if $w$ does not occur as a substring in $S$ and all proper substrings of $w$ occur in $S$. MAWs are well-studied combinatorial string objects that have potential…
An absent factor of a string $w$ is a string $u$ which does not occur as a contiguous substring (a.k.a. factor) inside $w$. We extend this well-studied notion and define absent subsequences: a string $u$ is an absent subsequence of a string…
A {\em subsequence} of a word $w$ is a word $u$ that can be obtained by deleting some letters from $w$ while maintaining the relative order of the remaining letters, e.g., $\mathtt{lala}$ is a subsequence of $\mathtt{alfalfa}$. A word, over…
We show that textual analysis of microbial genomes reveal telling footprints of the early evolution of the genomes. The frequencies of word occurrence of random DNA sequences considered as texts in their four nucleotides are expected to…
Statistical analysis of distributions of occurrence frequencies of short words in 108 microbial complete genomes reveals the existence of a set of universal "root-sequence lengths" shared by all microbial genomes. These lengths and their…
Statistical analysis of bacteria genomes texts has been performed on the basis of 20 complete genomes origin from Genebank. It has been revealed that the word ranked distributions are quite well approximated by logarithmic law. Results…
Given a string $w$, another string $v$ is said to be a subsequence of $w$ if $v$ can be obtained from $w$ by removing some of its letters; on the other hand, $v$ is called an absent subsequence of $w$ if $v$ is not a subsequence of $w$. The…
We extend the theory of minimal absent words to (rooted and unrooted) trees, having edges labeled by letters from an alphabet $\Sigma$ of cardinality $\sigma$. We show that the set $\text{MAW}(T)$ of minimal absent words of a rooted (resp.…
Modern genomic analyses increasingly rely on pangenomes, that is, representations of the genome of entire populations. The simplest representation of a pangenome is a set of individual genome sequences. Compared to e.g. sequence graphs,…
A minimal absent word of a sequence x, is a sequence yt hat is not a factorof x, but all of its proper factors are factors of x as well. The set of minimal absent words uniquely defines the sequence itself. In recent times minimal absent…
Genomes may be analyzed from an information viewpoint as very long strings, containing functional elements of variable length, which have been assembled by evolution. In this work an innovative information theory based algorithm is…
An absent word of a word y of length n is a word that does not occur in y. It is a minimal absent word if all its proper factors occur in y. Minimal absent words have been computed in genomes of organisms from all domains of life; their…
Sequence comparison is a prerequisite to virtually all comparative genomic analyses. It is often realized by sequence alignment techniques, which are computationally expensive. This has led to increased research into alignment-free…
A string $w$ is called a minimal absent word (MAW) for another string $T$ if $w$ does not occur in $T$ but the proper substrings of $w$ occur in $T$. For example, let $\Sigma = \{\mathtt{a, b, c}\}$ be the alphabet. Then, the set of MAWs…
We propose that the distribution of DNA words in genomic sequences can be primarily characterized by a double Pareto-lognormal distribution, which explains lognormal and power-law features found across all known genomes. Such a distribution…
We study here the so called subsequence pattern matching also known as hidden pattern matching in which one searches for a given pattern $w$ of length $m$ as a subsequence in a random text of length $n$. The quantity of interest is the…

Complexity metrics and machine learning (ML) models have been utilized to analyze the lengths of segmental genomic entities like: exons, introns, intergenic and repeat/unique DNA sequences, in each of the 22 human chromosomes. The purpose…
