    Abstract: Various embodiments of the present invention are directed to analysis of biopolymer sequences by introducing artificial noise into the sequences and then applying a denoiser to remove the artificial noise, monitoring the denoisability of each portion of the sequence by comparing the product of the denoiser and the original sequence. Portions of biopolymer sequences involved in certain cellular functions, such as genes within DNA sequences, often encode information in codes that are highly resilient to discrete, local corruption, such as DNA sequence mutations. Portions of DNA involved in other types of cellular functions may be less resilient to random errors, or, in other cases, may be so uniformly repetitive in sequence that random errors can be extremely easily identified and corrected. The denoisability of portions of biopolymer sequences into which random errors are introduced may thus rather directly reflect the error tolerance and error recognizability within the portions of biopolymer sequences.
