Abstract

A Fourier transform method is proposed to distinguish coding and non-coding sequences in a complete genome based on a number sequence representation of the DNA sequence proposed in our previous paper (Zhou et al., J. Theor. Biol. 2005) and the imperfect periodicity of 3 in protein coding sequences. The three parameters Px(s̄) (1), Px(s̄) (1/3) and P x(s̄) (1/36) in the Fourier transform of the number sequence representation of DNA sequences are selected to form a three-dimensional parameter space. Each DNA sequence is then represented by a point in this space. The points corresponding to coding and non-coding sequences in the complete genome of prokaryotes are seen to be divided into different regions. If the point (Px(s̄) (1), Px(s̄) (1/3), P x(s̄) (1/36)) for a DNA sequence is situated in the region corresponding to coding sequences, the sequence is distinguished as a coding sequence; otherwise, the sequence is classified as a noncoding one. Fisher's discriminant algorithm is used to study the discriminant accuracy. The average discriminant accuracies pc, pnc, qc and q nc of all 51 prokaryotes obtained by the present method reach 81.02%, 92.27%, 80.77% and9 2.24% respectively.
