Abstract
A review of DNA signal content, redundancy, and mutational mechanisms is presented. Mutation-robust methods are developed to detect a linear coding structure and approximate tandem repeats. In this article, a method to uncover an error-correction coding structure in the nucleotide sequence is developed and its efficiency in detecting approximate tandem repeats, such as microsatellite regions, is demonstrated.
