Entropy concepts and DNA investigationsDOI: 10.1016/S0375-9601(00)00557-0 Abstract: Topological and metric entropies of the DNA sequences from different organisms were calculated. Obtained results were compared each other and with ones of corresponding artificial sequences. For all envisaged DNA sequences there is a maximum of heterogeneity. It falls in the block length interval [5,7]. Maximum distinction between natural and artificial sequences is shifted on 1-3 position from the maximum of heterogeneity to the right as for metric as for topological entropy. This point on the specificity of real DNA sequences in the interval.
