SARP: A Novel Algorithm to Assess Compositional Biases in Protein Sequences

The composition of a defined set of subunits (nucleotides, amino acids) is one of the key features of biological sequences. Compositional biases are local shifts in amino acid or nucleotide frequencies that can occur as an adaptation of an organism to an extreme ecological niche, or as the signature...
