Abstract :
DNA sequence analysis using digital signal processing requires conversion of a base sequence to a numerical sequence. The choice of the numerical representation of a DNA sequence affects how well its biological properties can be reflected in the numerical domain for the detection and identification of the characteristics of special regions of interest. This paper presents some selected methods of DNA numerical representation for DNA sequence analysis, discusses their relative merits and demerits, and includes some concluding remarks.
