Promoter prediction in E. coli based on SIDD profiles and Artificial Neural Networks.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Coalescent simulations have proven very useful in many population genetics studies. In order to arrive to meaningful conclusions, it is important that these simulations resemble the process of molecular evolution as much as possible. To date, no single coalescent program is able to simulate codon sequences s...
