Shannon entropy is widely used to measure the complexity of DNA sequences but suffers from saturation effects that limit its discriminative power for long uniform segments. We introduce a novel metric, the entropy rank ratio R, which…
Current Y chromosome research is limited in the poor resolution of Y chromosome phylogenetic tree. Entirely sequenced Y chromosomes in numerous human individuals have only recently become available by the advent of next-generation…
In the last few decades, the human allosomes are engrossed in an intensive attention among researchers. The allosomes are now already been sequenced and found there are about 2000 and 78 genes in human X and Y chromosomes respectively. The…
The human genome remains incomplete, with multi-megabase sized gaps representing the endogenous centromeres and other heterochromatic regions. These regions are commonly enriched with long arrays of near-identical tandem repeats, known as…
We investigate a densely packed, non-random arrangement of forty-six chromosomes (46,XY) in human nuclei. Here, we model systems-level chromosomal crosstalk by unifying intrinsic parameters (chromosomal length and number of genes) across…
Topological entropy has been one of the most difficult to implement of all the entropy-theoretic notions. This is primarily due to finite sample effects and high-dimensionality problems. In particular, topological entropy has been…
A new approach to estimate the Shannon entropy of a long-range correlated sequence is proposed. The entropy is written as the sum of two terms corresponding respectively to power-law (\emph{ordered}) and exponentially (\emph{disordered})…
The paternally inherited Y chromosome has been widely used in population genetic studies to understand relationships among human populations. Our interpretation of Y chromosomal evidence about population history and genetics has rested on…
A series of studies have revealed the among-population components of genetic variation are higher for the paternal Y chromosome than for the maternal mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), which indicates sex-biased migrations in human populations.…
We introduce a simple model for DNA evolution. Using the method of Peng et al.$^1$, we investigate the fractal properties of the system. For small chains and chains of intermediate size we find a fractal exponent that indicates the…
The complexity of the primary structure of human DNA is explored using methods from nonequilibrium statistical mechanics, dynamical systems theory and information theory. The use of chi-square tests shows that DNA cannot be described as a…
Comparison of human and chimpanzee genomes has received much attention, because of paramount role for understanding evolutionary step distinguishing us from our closest living relative. In order to contribute to insight into Y chromosome…
Topological and metric entropies of the DNA sequences from different organisms were calculated. Obtained results were compared each other and with ones of corresponding artificial sequences. For all envisaged DNA sequences there is a…
This work presents a new approach for classification of genomic sequences from measurements of complex networks and information theory. For this, it is considered the nucleotides, dinucleotides and trinucleotides of a genomic sequence. For…
DNA storage technology offers new possibilities for addressing massive data storage due to its high storage density, long-term preservation, low maintenance cost, and compact size. To improve the reliability of stored information, base…
Complexity metrics and machine learning (ML) models have been utilized to analyze the lengths of segmental genomic entities like: exons, introns, intergenic and repeat/unique DNA sequences, in each of the 22 human chromosomes. The purpose…
Background: Structural Variations, SVs, in a genome can be linked to a disease or characteristic phenotype. The variations come in many types and it is a challenge, not only determining the variations accurately, but also conducting the…
The classification of DNA sequences is a key research area in bioinformatics as it enables researchers to conduct genomic analysis and detect possible diseases. In this paper, three state-of-the-art algorithms, namely Convolutional Neural…
Learning directionality between variables is crucial yet challenging, especially for mechanistic relationships without a priori ordering assumptions. We propose a coefficient of asymmetry to quantify directional asymmetry using Shannon's…
To test whether X-chromosome has unique genomic characteristics, X-chromosome and 22 autosomes were compared for RNA binding density. Nucleotide sequences on the chromosomes were divided into 50kb per segment that was recoded as a set of…
