Abstract

Detection of tandem repeats can be used for phylogenic studies and disease diagnosis. The numerical representation of genomic signals is very important, as many of the methods for detecting repeated sequences are part of the DSP field. Here we investigate the application of spectral analysis and spectrograms using a novel numerical representation to identify and study alpha satellite higher order repeats.
