Studies on Lossless Data Compression-Based Analysis of Different Types of DNA Sequence

Abstract

Genomic sequence data are produced in enormous quantities by modern biology. This is increasing the demand for effective sequence compression and analysis techniques. Data communication and storage are frequently thought to benefit from data compression and the related information theory-derived approaches. In computational biology research, data compression and related information-theoretic methods are frequently employed. The current work is based in the direction of understanding the complexity and compressibility of different types of genome sequences. As the sequences become more and more complex, the compressibility reduces.
