Sažetak
Our Key String Algorithm is used as robust method for effective identification and structural analysis of genomic sequence in NCBI sequence of human genome. We have developed a method, using total frequency distribution of all r-bp key strings in dependence on fragment length l to determine the exact size of all repeats within a given genomic sequence, both monomeric and HOR-type. In this way we determine the dominant key string, optimal for segmentation of a given genomic sequence into repeat units. We show that a wide class of 3-bp key strings generates a key-string-dependent periodic cell which provides a simple identification and consensus length determination of HORs, or any other highly convergent repeat , both tandem or dispersed. We illustrate KSA application for HORs in human genome and determined consensus HORs in the Build assembly. We compute the suprachromosomal family classification and CENP-B box/ pJalpha distributions for HORs. We introduced a flexible 28-bp key string which reveals both monomeric alpha satellites and alpha monomer segmentation of internal HOR structure. We identified in the Build 36 assembly a highly convergent 3434-bp long monomer in chromosome 5 (divergence less than 0.3%).
