The concept of k-spectrum for genomes is here investigated as a basic tool to analyze
genomes. Related spectral notions based on k-mers are introduced with some related …

Abstract Classical concepts of Information Theory are quickly summarized and their
application to the computational analysis of genomes is outlined. Genomes are long strings …

In this work we propose an approach to improve the performance of a current methodology,
computing k-mer based sequence similarity via Jaccard index, for pangenomic analyses …

Genomes carry the main information generating life of organisms and their evolution. They
work in nature as a marvellous operative system of molecular (reading, writing and signal …

DNA segments which together cover a genome may be collected together to form a genomic
dictionary of specific words, which may be annotated either by biological information …

If a biological population is fragmented in small isolated groups, there may emerge an
evolution phenomenon independent from natural selection. Limited number of individuals …

In this thesis we study a new approach to compare and investigate two genomic sequences.
We study the threshold q-gram distance which measures the similarity between two …
