Digital search trees and chaos game representation*

Peggy Cénac, Brigitte Chauvin, Stéphane Ginouillac, Nicolas Pouyanne (2009)

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

In this paper, we consider a possible representation of a DNA sequence in a quaternary tree, in which one can visualize repetitions of subwords (seen as suffixes of subsequences). The CGR-tree turns a sequence of letters into a Digital Search Tree (DST), obtained from the suffixes of the reversed sequence. Several results are known concerning the height, the insertion depth for DST built from independent successive random sequences having the same distribution. Here the successive inserted words...

Discrete Groups and Internal Symmetries of Icosahedral Viral Capsids

Richard Kerner (2014)

Molecular Based Mathematical Biology

A classification of all possible icosahedral viral capsids is proposed. It takes into account the diversity of hexamers’ compositions, leading to definite capsid size.We showhowthe self-organization of observed capsids during their production results from definite symmetries of constituting hexamers. The division of all icosahedral capsids into four symmetry classes is given. New subclasses implementing the action of symmetry groups Z2, Z3 and S3 are found and described. They concern special cases...
