Global transposable characteristics in the yeast complete DNA sequence

TL;DR

This study analyzes the global transposable features in yeast DNA sequences using metric representation and recurrence plots, revealing four fundamental transposable characteristics across chromosomes.

Contribution

Introduces a novel application of metric representation and recurrence plot methods to characterize transposable features in yeast DNA sequences.

Findings

Identification of four fundamental transposable characteristics

Detection of periodic and quasi-periodic patterns in yeast chromosomes

Chromosomes grouped into five categories based on transposable features

Abstract

Global transposable characteristics in the complete DNA sequence of the Saccharomyces cevevisiae yeast is determined by using the metric representation and recurrence plot methods. In the form of the correlation distance of nucleotide strings, 16 chromosome sequences of the yeast, which are divided into 5 groups, display 4 kinds of the fundamental transposable characteristics: a short period increasing, a long quasi-period increasing, a long major value and hardly relevant.
