Adaptive Wavelet Transform Based Protein Coding Region Prediction in DNA sequence

Protein coding region prediction in a DNA sequence is a challenging issue for the present researchers. An application of Wavelet Transform (WT) in Genomic signal processing (GSP) for this issue is proposed in this work. After reviewing the WT techniques applied for this purpose, an adaptive Gabor wavelet-transform (AGWT) technique has been proposed which exploits a multiscale approach to address this issue. Adaptive tuning of scale parameter plays the principal role in accurate prediction of exon positions. The significance of this work is that detailed sub-regions of each exon region of a gene set is isolated as compared to other existing methods that just detect the locations of the whole exons instead of paying attention to each sub region of them. This is important for better information regarding the diseased gene pool.
