Character sets of strings (2008)
Gilles Didier, Thomas Schmidt, Jens Stoye, Dekel Tsur
Given a string S over a finite alphabet Σ, the character set (also called the fingerprint) of a substring S ′ of S is the subset C ⊆ Σ of the symbols occurring in S ′. The study of the...

A method for segmenting DNA (2007)
Gilles Didier, Ivan Laprevotte
The variability of the nucleotide composition along DNA has been documented for a long time [2], notably for GC composition (the isochores) [1]. In particular the eucaryotic DNA sequences can be seen...
Mapping sequences by parts (2007)
Didier, Gilles, Guziolowski, Carito
Abstract Background: We present the N -map method, a pairwise and asymmetrical approach which allows us to compare sequences by taking into account evolutionary events that produce shuffled, reversed...
Comparing sequences without using alignments: application to HIV/SIV subtyping (2007)
Didier, Gilles, Debomy, Laurent, Pupin, Maude, Zhang, Ming, Grossmann, Alexander, Devauchelle, Claudine, ...
Abstract Background In general, the construction of trees is based on sequence alignments. This procedure, however, leads to loss of informationwhen parts of sequence alignments (for instance...

New spillway at the Esch-sur-Sûre dam in Luxembourg (2007)
Lazaro, Philippe, Toussin, Guy, Didier, Gilles, Erpicum, Sébastien
The 50-m high arch dam of Esch-sur-Sûre, built on the river Sûre between 1956 and 1957, is located 1.2 km upstream of the town of esch-sur-Sûre in the north west of Luxembourg. As the dam is not...
Coding with variable block maps (2006)
Acuña, Vicente, Didier, Gilles, Maass, Alejandro
In this article we study a special class of sliding block maps that we call variable block maps.We characterize the subsets of finite and infinite sequences that can be obtained as the image of...
The operons, a criterion to compare the reliability of transcriptome (2003)
The number of statistical tools used to analyze transcriptome data is continuously increasing and no one, definitive method has so far emerged. There is a need for comparison and a number of...
Laprevotte, Ivan, Pupin, Maude, Coward, Eivind, Didier, Gilles, Terzian, Christophe, Devauchelle, Claudine, ...
Previous analyses of retroviral nucleotide sequences, suggest a so-called “scrambled duplicative stepwise molecular evolution” (many sectors with successive duplications/deletions of short and...
