We use different representations for the sequences, based on n-gram graphs. In addition, a novel representation based on the secondary structure of the sequences is proposed. We evaluate our approach on genomic sequence data from model organisms of varying evolutionary distance. The first obtained results indicate that the proposed representations are promising for the problem of splice site recognition. © 2014 Springer International Publishing. ER -
