Abstract :
The possibility is considered that the average number of amino acids in proteins is influenced by the complexity of the corresponding DNA sequence. Complexity is regarded as a quantity related to the compressibility of a sequence. This makes a computation manageable using artificial neural network techniques. A neural network computation is performed on a section of several E. coli DNA coding sequences to illustrate the procedure
