Abstract

Structural and functional behavior of genomes could be studied using one dimensional binaryvalued three neighborhood cellular automata updating rules These updating rules are linear Boolean functions and they are applied to the adjoint sequences of adenine A Thymine T Guanine G and Cytosine C corresponding to the characteristic sequence of a genome This paper proposes the use of linear Boolean functions and demonstrates the textural or fractal behavior of genome evolution in terms of nucleotide adjoints
