Alignment-free sequence comparison (I): statistics and power.
Large-scale comparison of the similarities between two biological sequences is a major issue in computational biology; a fast method, the D(2) statistic, relies on the comparison of the k-tuple content for both sequences. Although it has been known for some years that the D(2) statistic is not suita...
