or The notation used S – DNA sequence of length l, while Si(i=1 ... l) denotes the individual nucleotides C – sequence of codons; Cj – the codon occupying position j in the sequence - denotes the sequence of codons that results when the grouping of nucleotides from sequence Sinto codons starts at nucleotidei , - denotes the codon occupying position j in the decomposition i of the sequence S [k] - the nucleotide occupying position k in the codon Jacek Leluk Interdisciplinary Centre for Mathematical and Computational Modelling, Warsaw University

Measures based on a model of coding DNA The notation used probability of the sequence of nucleotides S, given that S is coding in frame i (i=1, 2, 3) probability of the non-coding DNA sequence (randomly generated) Likelihood ratio The ratio of the probability of finding the sequence of nucleotides S, if S is coding in frame i over the probability of finding the sequence of nucleotides S, if S is non-coding Jacek Leluk Interdisciplinary Centre for Mathematical and Computational Modelling, Warsaw University
Measures based on a model of coding DNA The notation used Log-likelihood ratio coding potential of sequence S in frame i given the model of coding DNA the probability of the sequence of nucleotides S is higher assuming that S is coding in frame i, than assuming that S is non-coding in frame i the probability of S is higher assuming that S does not code in frame i than assuming that S is coding in frame i The log-likelihood ratios is computed for all three possible frames. If the sequence is coding, the log-likelihood ratio will larger for one of the frames than for the other two.

Measures based on a model of coding DNA Measures based on base compositional bias between codon positions Codon prototype Let f(b,r) be the probability of nucleotide b at codon position r, as estimated from known coding regions. Then: is the probability of codon c in coding regions, assuming independence between adjacent nucleotides probability of for all triplets c in non-coding DNA Example: P2(S) and P3(S) are computed in similar way Jacek Leluk Interdisciplinary Centre for Mathematical and Computational Modelling, Warsaw University
Measures based on a model of coding DNA Measures based on dependence between nucleotide positions Markov Models In the Markov models the probability of a nucleotide at a particular codon position depends on the nucleotide(s) preceding it. The Markov models of order 1 is the simplest of the Markov models. The probability of a nucleotide depends only on the preceding nucleotide. In this case, the model of coding DNA is based on the probabilities of the four nucleotides at each codon position, depending on the nucleotide occurring at the preceding codon position (technically called the transition probabilities). Thus, instead of one single matrix, as in Codon Prototype, three 4x4 matrices (the transition matrices) are required, F1, F2, and F3, each one corresponding to a different codon position. There are used Markov models of the order 1 to 5 Jacek Leluk Interdisciplinary Centre for Mathematical and Computational Modelling, Warsaw University
