A naturally logical representation for DNA primary sequences

Comb Chem High Throughput Screen. 2007 May;10(4):277-81. doi: 10.2174/138620707780636619.

Abstract

In this paper, we (1) introduce a logical representation (LR) for DNA primary sequences; (2) show relations between LR and some other representations including the characteristic sequences of a DNA sequence, Randic's 2-D, 4-D representations, and Z-curve (a 3-D graphical representation); and (3) outline the constructions of the S/S matrix specific for a logical sequence and its 2*2 condensed matrix.
