DNA splice site sequences clustering method for conservativeness analysis

DNA sequences that are near to splice sites have remarkable conservativeness, and many researchers have contributed to the prediction of splice site. In order to mine the underlying biological knowledge, we analyze the conservativeness of DNA splice site adjacent sequences by clustering. Firstly, we propose a kind of DNA splice site sequences clustering method which is based on DBSCAN, and use four kinds of dissimilarity calculating methods. Then, we analyze the conservative feature of the clustering results and the experimental data set.
