A new method to study genome mutations using the information entropy

2021-05-27

Abstract excerpt

We report a non-clinical, mathematical method of studying genetic sequences based on the information theory. Our method involves calculating the information entropy spectrum of genomes by splitting them into “windows” containing a fixed number of nucleotides. The information entropy value of each window is computed using the m-block information entropy formula. We show that the information entropy spectrum of geno...
