DNA and Natural Languages: Text Mining

We present, discuss and exemplify a fully implemented model of text mining that can be applied to human languages as well as to molecular biology languages. This is based in a model oriented to discovering DNA barcodes for sequences. The novelty of our methodology is the use of Constraint Based Reasoning to detect string repetitions through unification, by introducing a new general rule for matching. We claim that the same method can be successfully applied to mining natural language texts.
