    Abstract: Burrows-Wheeler Transform (BWT) is an extremely useful tool for textual lossless data compression. Recently, it has found many applications to bioinformatics. In this paper, BWT is introduced from the view of combinatorics, and then an equivalence relation on words is proposed which shows that the transformation captures some common features of equ...

    Abstract: The three dimensional structure of Aedes aegypti chorion peroxidase was computed by homology modeling. The ModWeb server provided the most accurate model with QMEAN score of 0.642. The protein model consists of 36.1% alpha-helices and 1% beta-strand. Ligand binding sites in Aedes aegypti chorion peroxidase were identified using SiteComp server. In ... Show More

    Abstract: This article describes a mathematical modeling method of an ecological biology system; this method uses computers. Hypotheses about the leading mechanisms of fluctuations for tundra animals population’s number are formulated. An analysis of difference and differential equations and their manifestations in the community model “vegetation – lemmings ... Show More
