Resumo

The major objective of the paper is to review the theory for an hidden Markov model, a very general type of probabilistic model for sequences of symbols. In order for the hidden Markov model to be applicable to real-world applications, three key problems about the model must be addressed, and to do this, first we go over how to choose the best state sequence to explain an observation sequence, then we go over how to calculate the probability of an observation sequence, and finally we go over how to compute the maximization of the probability of the observation sequence. From these three angles, we review the mathematical concept behind the identification of CpG islands. The entire process and study of the outcomes have been tackled by examining both hypothetical and real DNA sequences side by side. We use well-known biological sequence analysis servers to carry out the experiment. Analytical and algorithmic approaches are compared while taking the hypothetical DNA sequence example into consideration.
