Motivation: At a recent meeting
, the
wavelet transform was depicted as a small child kicking back at
its father, the Fourier transform. Wavelets are more efficient
and faster than Fourier methods in capturing the essence of
data. Nowadays there is a growing interest in using wavelets in
the analysis of biological sequences and molecular
biology-related signals.
Results: This review is intended to summarize the potential of state of the art wavelets, and in particular wavelet statistical methodology, in different areas of molecular biology: genome sequence, protein structure and microarray data analysis. I conclude by discussing the use of wavelets in modeling biological structures.
