A novel hierarchical clustering algorithm for gene sequences

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Clustering DNA sequences into functional groups is an important problem in bioinformatics. We propose a new alignment-free algorithm, mBKM, based on a new distance measure, DMk, for clustering gene sequences. This method transforms D...
