Title: | A p-adic model of DNA sequence and genetic code | Journal: | P-Adic Numbers, Ultrametric Analysis, and Applications | Volume: | 1 | Issue: | 1 | First page: | 34 | Last page: | 41 | Issue Date: | 1-Mar-2009 | ISSN: | 20700466 | DOI: | 10.1134/S2070046609010038 | URL: | https://api.elsevier.com/content/abstract/scopus_id/67649302956 | Abstract: | © 2009, Pleiades Publishing, Ltd. Using basic properties of p-adic numbers, we consider a simple new approach to describe main aspects of DNA sequence and the genetic code. In our investigation central role plays an ultrametric p-adic information space whose basic elements are nucleotides, codons and genes. We show that a 5-adicmodel is appropriate for DNA sequence. This 5-adicmodel, combined with 2-adic distance, is also suitable for the genetic code and for amore advanced employment in genomics. We find that genetic code degeneracy is related to the p-adic distance between codons. |
