A unified symmetrical theory of DNA sequences has been established based on the basic symmetry of the DNA bases. It is shown that the symmetry of DNA sequences is inherently related to that of a cube and its inscribed regular tetrahedron. A DNA group is defined as a particular alternating group of o

Abstract
We presented a novel way to numerically characterize DNA sequences based on the graphical representation for the sequences comparison and analysis. Instead of calculating the leading eigenvalues of the matrix for graphical representation, we computed curvature and torsion of curves as the descriptor to numerically characterize DNA sequences. The new method was tested on three data sets: the coding sequences of Ξ²βglobin gene, all of their exons, and 24 coronavirus geneomes from NCBI. The similarities/dissimilarities and phylogenetic tree of these species verify the validity of our method. Β© 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Int J Quantum Chem, 2011

## Abstract On the basis of information on the evolution of the 20 amino acids and their physiochemical characteristics, we propose a new twoβdimensional (2D) graphical representation of protein sequences in this article. By this representation method, we use 2D data to represent threeβdimensional
