This paper presents a new technique for the detection of short exons in DNA sequences. In this method we analyze four DNA structural properties which include the DNA bending stiffness disrupt energy free energy and propeller twist using the autoregressive AR model. The linear prediction matrices for the four features are combined to find the same set of linear prediction coefficients from which we estimate the spectrum of the DNA sequence and detect exons based on the 1 3 frequency component. To overcome the nonstationarity of DNA sequences we use moving windows of different sizes in the AR model. Experiments on the human genome show that our multi-feature based method is superior in performance to existing exon detection algorithms. 1. Introduction Signals converted from DNA sequence are nonstationary. The coding sequence of a prokaryotic gene is a contiguous series of three-nucleotide codons. The codon for one amino acid is immediately adjacent to the codon for the next amino acid in the polypeptide chain. However this may not be the case for eukaryotic genes. Many eukaryotic genes comprise blocks of exons from each other by blocks of intons. The exons contain protein-coding instructions. .
