Abstract: This paper presents a new algorithm for the analysis of spectral properties of short genes using the wavelet transform and the Hilbert–Huang transform (HHT). A wavelet subspace algorithm combined with the empirical mode decomposition (EMD) is introduced to create subdivided intrinsic mode functions (IMFs) and a cross-correlation analysis is applied to remove pseudo-spectral components. Experiments are carried out on DNA sequences with the double-base (DB) curve representation and the results show that the signal-to-noise ratio of buried signals can be enhanced using the proposed method, yielding significant patterns that are rarely observed with conventional methods. The wavelet subspace Hilbert–Huang transform (WSHHT) algorithm is able to correctly identify spectral patterns of very short genes (below 70 bp) in DNA sequences.
