MGWT based Algorithm for Tandem Repeats Detection in DNA Sequences

Detection of the tandem repeats in DNA sequences is a challenging problem for the scientists and engineers in the current age. The detection of the tandem repeats is also an important part of gene annotation as well as it is useful to identify the various hereditary diseases and human identity. Therefore, various methods have been reported in the literature to identify the tandem repeats, which are based on string matching and digital signal processing methods. In this paper, modified Gabor wavelet transform based proposed algorithm has been developed. The detection performance of the tandem repeats has been compared with reported methods.
