Abstract

MOSAIC is a set of tools for the segmentation of multiple aligned DNA sequences into homogeneous zones. The segmentation is based on the distribution of mutational events along the alignment. As an example, the analysis of one repeated sequence belonging to the subtelomeric regions of the yeast genome is presented.
