TLDR
DFT provides a robust detection method for higher order periodicity and is robust with respect to monomer insertions and deletions, random sequence insertions etc.
Abstract
Background Identification of approximate tandem repeats is an important task of broad significance and still remains a challenging problem of computational genomics. Often there is no single best approach to periodicity detection and a combination of different methods may improve the prediction accuracy. Discrete Fourier transform (DFT) has been extensively used to study primary periodicities in DNA sequences. Here we investigate the application of DFT method to identify and study alphoid higher order repeats.

Understanding Long-range Correlations in DNA Sequences

TL;DR: A review of the literature on statistical long-range correlation in DNA sequences can be found in this paper, where the authors conclude that a mixture of many length scales (including some relatively long ones) is responsible for the observed 1/f-like spectral component.

Measure representation and multifractal analysis of complete genomes

TL;DR: Spectral analyses performed indicate that these measure representations, considered as time series, exhibit strong long-range correlation and the multifractal property of the measure representation and the classification of bacteria.

Direct mapping of symbolic DNA sequence into frequency domain in global repeat map algorithm

TL;DR: This work presents several case studies of GRM use, and presents the use of complete set of a K-string ensemble which enables a new method of direct mapping of symbolic DNA sequence into frequency domain, with straightforward identification of repeats as peaks in GRM diagram.

Coexistence of different base periodicities in prokaryotic genomes as related to DNA curvature, supercoiling, and transcription.

TL;DR: The comparison with available experimental data indicates that promoters with the most pronounced periodicities may be related to the supercoiling-sensitive genes.

Spectral Repeat Finder (SRF): identification of repetitive sequences using Fourier transformation

TL;DR: The Spectral Repeat Finder program circumvents problems by using a discrete Fourier transformation to identify significant periodicities present in a sequence and shows efficient and complete detection of repeats.

Prediction of protein coding regions by the 3-base periodicity analysis of a DNA sequence.

TL;DR: A new method to predict protein coding regions is developed based on the fact that most of exon sequences have a 3-base periodicity, while intron sequences do not have this unique feature.

Statistical mechanics in biology: how ubiquitous are long-range correlations?

TL;DR: The analysis of long-term data on human heartbeats that supports the possibility that the successive increments in the cardiac beat-to-beat intervals of healthy subjects display scale-invariant, long-range "anti-correlations", suggesting that the classical theory of homeostasis should be extended to account for this type of dynamical, far from equilibrium, behavior.

Structure of the major block of alphoid satellite DNA on the human Y chromosome.

TL;DR: The results provide a basis for further structural analysis of the human Y chromosome centromeric region, and suggest that long-range structural polymorphisms of tandemly repeated sequence families may be frequent.

The gene identification problem: An overview for developers

TL;DR: The gene identification problem is the problem of interpreting nucleotide sequences by computer, in order to provide tentative annotation on the location, structure, and functional class of protein-coding genes, and the number of algorithm and software developers working in the area is rapidly increasing.
