Characterizing the D2 Statistic: Word Matches in Biological Sequences (2009)

Forêt, Sylvain, Wilson, Susan R, Burden, Conrad J

Word matches are often used in sequence comparison methods, either as a measure of sequence similarity or in the first search steps of algorithms such as BLAST or BLAT. The D2 statistic is the number...

k-Word matches: an alignment-free sequence comparison method (2008)

Burden, Conrad J., Forêt, Sylvain, Wilson, Susan R.

k-word matches, the number of words of length k shared between two sequences, also known as the D2 statistic, are used in alignment-free sequence comparison statistic. The advantages of the use of...

Asymptotic behaviour and optimal word size for exact and approximate word matches between random sequences (2006)

Forêt, Sylvain, Kantorovitz, Miriam R, Burden, Conrad J

Abstract Background The number of k -words shared between two sequences is a simple and effcient alignment-free sequence comparison method. This statistic, D 2 , has been used for the clustering of...

Function and evolution of a gene family encoding odorant binding-like proteins in a social insect, the honey bee (Apis mellifera) (2006)

Forêt, Sylvain, Maleszka, Ryszard

The remarkable olfactory power of insect species is thought to be generated by a combinatorial action of two large protein families, G protein-coupled olfactory receptors (ORs) and odorant binding...
