A spin chain, describing a nucleotides sequence, is identified by the labels of a vector state of an irreducible representation of U_q->0(sl2). A master equation for the distribution function is written, where the intensity of the one-spin…
A quantum spin chain is identified by the labels of a vector state of a Kashiwara crystal basis. The intensity of the one-spin flip is assumed to depend from the variation of the labels. The rank ordered plot of the numerically computed,…
This paper presents a probabilistic approach for DNA sequence analysis. A DNA sequence consists of an arrangement of the four nucleotides A, C, T and G and different representation schemes are presented according to a probability measure…
Labeling of DNA molecules is a fundamental technique for DNA visualization and analysis. This process was mathematically modeled in [1], where the received sequence indicates the positions of the used labels. In this work, we develop error…
Repetitive elements are important in genomic structures, functions and regulations, yet effective methods in precisely identifying repetitive elements in DNA sequences are not fully accessible, and the relationship between repetitive…
Evolution consists of distinct stages: cosmological, biological, linguistic. Since biology verges on natural sciences and linguistics, we expect that it shares structures and features from both forms of knowledge. Indeed, in DNA we…
The codons, sixtyfour in number, are distributed over the coding parts of DNA sequences. The distribution function is the plot of frequency-versus-rank of the codons. These distributions are characterised by parameters that are almost…
In the framework of the crystal basis model of the genetic code, where each codon is assigned to an irreducible representation of $U_{q \to 0}(sl(2) \oplus sl(2))$, single base mutation matrices are introduced. The strength of the mutation…
The evolution in coding DNA sequences brings new flexibility and freedom to the codon words, even as the underlying nucleotides get significantly ordered. These curious contra-rules of gene organisation are observed from the distribution of…
Genetic information is encoded in a linear sequence of nucleotides, represented by letters ranging from thousands to billions. Mutations refer to changes in the DNA or RNA nucleotide sequence. Thus, mutation detection is vital in all areas…
A mathematical algorithm to describe DNA or RNA sequences of $N$ nucleotides by a string of $2N$ integers numbers is presented in the framework of the so called crystal basis model of the genetic code. The description allows to define a not…
The quantum enveloping algebra U_q(sl(2) \oplus sl(2)) in the limit q \to 0 is proposed as a symmetry algebra for the genetic code. In this approach the triplets of nucleotids or codons in the DNA chain are classified in crystal bases,…
A variety of selection-mutation models for DNA (or RNA) sequences, well known in molecular evolution, can be translated into a model of coupled Ising quantum chains. This correspondence is used to investigate the genetic variability and…
We introduce a model of DNA sequence evolution which can account for biases in mutation rates that depend on the identity of the neighboring bases. An analytic solution for this class of non-equilibrium models is developed by adopting…

This article introduces a novel binary representation of the canonical genetic code based on both the structural similarities of the nucleotides, as well as the physicochemical properties of the encoded amino acids. Each of the four mRNA…
In this paper we treat some fractal and statistical features of the DNA sequences. First, a fractal record model of DNA sequence is proposed by mapping DNA sequences to integer sequences, followed by R/S analysis of the model and…
Sequencing by synthesis is the underlying technology for many next-generation DNA sequencing platforms. We developed a new model, the fixed flow cycle model, to derive the distributions of sequence length for a given number of flow cycles…
We show that textual analysis of microbial genomes reveal telling footprints of the early evolution of the genomes. The frequencies of word occurrence of random DNA sequences considered as texts in their four nucleotides are expected to…
Sequencing by synthesis is used in many next-generation DNA sequencing technologies. Some of the technologies, especially those exploring the principle of single-molecule sequencing, allow incomplete nucleotide incorporation in each cycle.…
