Abstract

This paper proposes a novel concept called 201C;Percentage Nucleotide Concentration of genomes201D; in terms of cellular automata evolutions of adjoints of Adenine, Thymine, Guanine, and Cytosine. The adjoints of the given a genome sequenceare the characteristic binary string sequences. For example, the adjoint of Adenine of a given genome sequence is a binary string consisting of 02019;s and 12019;s where 12019;s corresponds to the presence of Adenine in the genome sequence. So, one can have four adjoint sequences of Adenine, Thymine, Guanine, and Cytosine corresponding to a given genome sequence. One-dimensional three neighborhood binary value cellular automata rules could be applied to an adjoint sequence and the desired number of evolutions obtained.These rules aredefined by linear Boolean functions and one can have 256 such linear Boolean functions.Nucleotide concentration is computed for an adjoint sequence and its variation evaluated for its successive evolutions based on a cellular automaton rule.
