Abstract excerpt
How the cell maintains and uses its heritable information may be a critical factor in neoplasia. For example, neoplastic development is thought to depend upon the interplay between random genomic instability and nonrandom selective forces. Information theory provides a means to analyze these processes. One may quantitate not only the amount and lability of information contained within a segment of genetic code,...
