New methodology for repetitive sequences identification in human X and Y chromosomes.

ABSTRACT: Repetitive DNA sequences occupy the major proportion of DNA in the human genome and even in the other species' genomes. The importance of each repetitive DNA type depends on many factors: structural and functional roles, positions, lengths and numbers of these repetitions are clear examples. Conserving such DNA sequences or not in different locations in the chromosome remains a challenge for researchers in biology. Detecting their location despite their great variability and finding novel repetitive sequences remains a challenging task. To side-step this problem, we developed a new method based on signal and image processing tools. In fact, using this method we could find repetitive patterns in DNA images regardless of the repetition length. This new technique seems to be more efficient in
