FINDING HOMOGENEOUS REGIONS IN DNA SEQUENCES

To analyze a complete genome, it is more relevant to take into account heterogeneity in DNA sequences, instead of using a homogeneous Markov chain model.

Using hidden Markov chain model allows us to detect different homogeneous regions in DNA sequences on which we can fit homogeneous Markov chains.
