Meera.A, Lalitha Rangarajan, Shilpa .N . New Distance Measure for Sequence Comparison using Cumulative Frequency Distribution. International Journal of Computer Applications. 19, 2 ( April 2011), 13-18. DOI=10.5120/2335-3043
Comparison of two promoter sequences is proposed in this paper. Motifs are extracted from promoter sequences using available software tool ‘TF SEARCH’. The promoter sequences are compared using cumulative frequency distribution of motifs. For experimental study, promoter sequences of different mammals of the enzyme Citrate synthase of TCA (kreb) cycle in CMP (Central Metabolic Pathway) are considered. Results reveal high similarity in motif sequences of different organisms in the same chromosome. Also some amount of similarity is present among motif sequences of different chromosomes of the same organism.
