Mathematic principles underlying genetic structures
Matthew J. Berryman
Abstract
Many people are familiar with the physico-chemical properties of gene sequences. In this paper I present a mathematical perspective: how do mathematical principles such as information theory, coding theory, and combinatorics influence the beginnings of life and the formation of the genetic codes we observe today? What constraints on possible life forms are imposed by information-theoretical concepts? Further, I detail how mathematical principles can help us to analyse the genetic sequences we observe in the world today.
