On genetic information, diversity and distance.

Methods of information in medicine - 1 Jan 2006

Zvárová J, Vajda I

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVES: General information-theoretic concepts such as f-divergence, f-information and f-entropy are applied to the genetic models where genes are characterized by randomly distributed alleles. The paper thus presents an information-theoretic background for measuring genetic distances between populations, genetic information in various observations on individuals about their alleles and, finally, genetic...
