Komprese DNA

Abstract

DNA compression is considered as a challenging task. It is not useful just for saving the disk space and network bandwidth while transferring genome file. The benefit is also in recognition of the patterns in biological sequences and measuring the evolutionary distance between organisms. This thesis starts with insight into Biology and basic knowledge of DNA sequence structure. It is followed by chronologically ordered chapters with analysis of chosen compression programs. Their strategies, algorithms and different types of solution for common partial issues are described. Based on the gained knowledge and experience from testing own compression method has been designed and then implemented in DNAcod program. Achieved outcome numbers are compared with other compression tools results.
