The Method to Compare Nucleotide Sequences Based on the Minimum Entropy Principle
2003
A new method to compare two (or several) symbol sequences is developed. The method is based on the comparison of the frequencies of the small fragments of the compared sequences; it requires neither string editing, nor other transformations of the compared objects. The comparison is executed through a calculation of the specific entropy of a frequency dictionary against the special dictionary called the hybrid one; this latter is the statistical ancestor of the group of sequences under comparison. Some applications of the developed method in the fields of genetics and bioinformatics are discussed.
