Abstract

A weighted sequence is a string in which a set of characters may appear at each position with respective probabilities of occurrence. A common task is to identify repetitive motifs in weighted sequences, with presence probability not less than a given threshold. We consider the problems of finding varieties of regularities in a weighted sequence. Based on the algorithms for computing all the repeats of every length by using an iterative partitioning technique, we also tackle the all-covers problem and all-seeds problem. Both problems can be solved in O(n2) time.
