Numeric Representation of DNA and RNA
Description
Based on the gray-scale visual representation it is possible to define a corresponding numeric representation of the bases either expressed as percentage values: T=0%, G=25%, A=50%, C=75% , U=100% or as whole numbers T=0, G=1, A=2, C=3, U=4(DNA 0,1,2, 3 and RNA 1,2,3, 4). Here the exchange value for the base-pairs is 2 which is also the number that represents Adenine. Thus, instead of a DNA sequence expressed through alphabet letters ATAGCATTGATTAGCCCATGGACAGA we could have its numeric version as 20213200120021333201123212. This numeric representation could be presented in 2D as a Cartesian diagram where on the x are positions of the bases while on the y are their values.
