Z-Hunt-DP: accelerating thermodynamic Z-DNA prediction with dynamic programming
Z-DNA is a left-handed DNA conformation implicated in gene regulation and chromatin dynamics. Because it is usually less thermodynamically favorable than canonical B-DNA under physiological conditions, computational tools are needed to identify sequences likely to adopt the Z conformation. Legacy Z-Hunt uses a dinucleotide thermodynamic model, but searches every anti/syn assignment in a window,…
