Genetic signal analysis

The tetrahedral representation of the genetic code adequately grasps its basic features and degeneracy. Optimal symbolic-to-digital mappings of the genetic information contained in nucleic acid molecules, as well as in the primary structure of the corresponding proteins (if any) are derived at nucleotide, codon and amino acid levels. Nitrogenous basis and/or amino acid sequences are converted into genetic signals so that a large variety of signal processing methods can be used for their analysis. The use of independent component analysis (ICA) to search for control sequences in the intergenic DNA, ie, the part of the genome that does not encode proteins, is proposed
