Outline of Final Research Achievements

This year, several direct and indirect research outcomes were finalized and published. A survey of sequence rearrangements in human DNA was published in NAR. A simplified "child table" algorithm, for finding similar sequences, was published in IEEE/ACM TCBB. A method for detecting genome variations was published in BMC Medical Genomics. Our method for considering DNA neighbor-base preferences, which improves bacterial strain discrimination, was published in BMC Bioinformatics. Our analysis methods are proving useful for recent　"long" DNA-read data.
