    Abstract

    We study the problem of mining poly-regions in DNA. A poly-region is defined as a bursty DNA area, i.e., area of elevated frequency of a DNA pattern. We introduce a general formulation that covers a range of meaningful types of poly-regions and develop three efficient detection methods. The first applies recursive segmentation and is entropy-based. The second uses a set of sliding windows that summarize each sequence segment using several statistics. Finally, the third employs a technique based on majority vote. The proposed algorithms are tested on DNA sequences of four different organisms in terms of recall and runtime.
