Neural network applications for protein sequence analysis are summarized in Table 11.1. Like the DNA coding region recognition problem, signal peptide prediction (11.2) involves both search for content and search for signal tasks. An effective means for protein sequence analysis is reverse database searching to detect functional motifs or sites (11.3) and identify protein families (11.4). Most of the functional motifs are also... 

Figure 18.4. Sizes of Mitochondrial Genomes. The sizes of three mitochondrial genomes compared with the genome of Rickettsia, a relative of the the presumed ancestor of all mitochondria. For genomes of more than 60 kbp, the DNA coding region for genes with known function is shown in red.

Homeoboxes code for homeodomains, sequences of 60 amino acids that function as the DNA-binding regions of transcription factors. Each homeo-box gene in Drosophila is expressed only in its own characteristic subset of embryonic cells, and almost every embryonic cell contains a unique combination of homeodomain proteins. 

The protein coding regions of DNA, the transcripts of which ultimately appear in the cytoplasm as single mRNA molecules, are usually interrupted in the eukaryotic genome by large intervening sequences of...
