On The Notion of Percentage Nucleotide Concentration of Genome Sequences in Terms of Cellular Automata Evolutions of Adjoints Sequences
This paper proposes a novel concept called “Percentage Nucleotide Concentration of genomes” in terms of cellular automata evolutions of adjoints of Adenine, Thymine, Guanine, and Cytosine. The adjoints of the given a genome sequenceare the characteristic binary string sequences. For example, the adjoint of Adenine of a given genome sequence is a binary string consisting of 0’s and 1’s where 1’s corresponds to the presence of Adenine in the genome sequence. So, one can have four adjoint sequences of Adenine, Thymine, Guanine, and Cytosine corresponding to a given genome sequence. One-dimensional three neighborhood binary value cellular automata rules could be applied to an adjoint sequence and the desired number of evolutions obtained.These rules aredefined by linear Boolean functions and one can have 256 such linear Boolean functions.Nucleotide concentration is computed for an adjoint sequence and its variation evaluated for its successive evolutions based on a cellular automaton rule.
