J Theor Biol . 2024 Jun; 592:111878. PMID: 38901778
Heaps' or Herdan-Heaps' law is a linguistic law describing the relationship between the vocabulary/dictionary size (type) and word counts (token) to be a power-law function. Its existence in genomes with...

J Mol Evol . 2022 Jun; 90(3-4):231-238. PMID: 35704064
In the present note, the genomic compositional rule largely known as 'Chargaff's 2nd parity rule' (asserting equimolarity between Adenine-Thymine and Guanine-Cytosine in any of the two DNA strands) is regarded...

Sci Rep . 2019 Feb; 9(1):1700. PMID: 30737442
Analysis of DNA composition at several length scales constitutes the bulk of many early studies aimed at unravelling the complexity of the organization and functionality of genomes. Dinucleotide relative abundances...

Homeopathy . 2018 Jun; 107(3):189-195. PMID: 29871024
We discuss questions related to the 'Benveniste Affair', its consequences and broader issues in an attempt to understand homeopathy. Specifically, we address the following points: 1.:  The relationship between the...

Almirantis Y, Charalampopoulos P, Gao J, Iliopoulos C, Mohamed M, Pissis S, et al.
Algorithms Mol Biol . 2017 Mar; 12:5. PMID: 28293277
Background: The deviation of the observed frequency of a word from its expected frequency in a given sequence is used to determine whether or not the word is . This...

Apostolou-Karampelis K, Nikolaou C, Almirantis Y
DNA Res . 2016 Jun; 23(4):353-63. PMID: 27345720
Strand biases reflect deviations from a null expectation of DNA evolution that assumes strand-symmetric substitution rates. Here, we present strong evidence that nearest-neighbour preferences are a strand-biased feature of bacterial...

Polychronopoulos D, Athanasopoulou L, Almirantis Y
Gene . 2016 Feb; 584(2):148-60. PMID: 26899868
Conserved non-coding elements (CNEs) are defined using various degrees of sequence identity and thresholds of minimal length. Their conservation frequently exceeds the one observed for protein-coding sequences. We explored the...

BMC Bioinformatics . 2015 May; 16:138. PMID: 25925131
Background: This article provides an overview of the first BIOASQ challenge, a competition on large-scale biomedical semantic indexing and question answering (QA), which took place between March and September 2013....

CpG Islands (CGIs) are compositionally defined short genomic stretches, which have been studied in the human, mouse, chicken and later in several other genomes. Initially, they were assigned the role...
