In the eukaryotic genomes, the genetic diseases are generally associated with the tandem repeats. These repeats seem to appear frequently. In this paper, we are describing a wavelet transform technique which provides a new way to represent the DNA succession bases as a DNA progression images. These images offer DNA landscapes, visualizing and following up periodicities through genomes. We investigated in a structural coding technique the Pnuc. Then, we illustrated, with time-frequency representation, the existence and the superposition of the periodicities in some biological features, their locations and the different ways in which they appear. The representations generated showed that one periodicity can sometimes be alone, but generally, it is incorporated to others. These periodicities associations create, in the Caenorhabditis elegans chromosome, a precise structural image of biological features, such as CeRep, Helitrons, repeats and satellites.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D012091 Repetitive Sequences, Nucleic Acid Sequences of DNA or RNA that occur in multiple copies. There are several types: INTERSPERSED REPETITIVE SEQUENCES are copies of transposable elements (DNA TRANSPOSABLE ELEMENTS or RETROELEMENTS) dispersed throughout the genome. TERMINAL REPEAT SEQUENCES flank both ends of another sequence, for example, the long terminal repeats (LTRs) on RETROVIRUSES. Variations may be direct repeats, those occurring in the same direction, or inverted repeats, those opposite to each other in direction. TANDEM REPEAT SEQUENCES are copies which lie adjacent to each other, direct or inverted (INVERTED REPEAT SEQUENCES).

D002875 Chromosomes In a prokaryotic cell or in the nucleus of a eukaryotic cell, a structure consisting of or containing DNA which carries the genetic information essential to the cell. (From Singleton & Sainsbury, Dictionary of Microbiology and Molecular Biology, 2d ed) Chromosome
D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D058067 Wavelet Analysis Signal and data processing method that uses decomposition of wavelets to approximate, estimate, or compress signals with finite time and frequency domains. It represents a signal or data in terms of a fast decaying wavelet series from the original prototype wavelet, called the mother wavelet. This mathematical algorithm has been adopted widely in biomedical disciplines for data and signal processing in noise removal and audio/image compression (e.g., EEG and MRI).
