[Study of a comparative statistical analytical model for nucleotide sequences in the genome of viruses of the Papovaviridae family].
In the present study a model for comparative analysis of nucleotide sequences has been developed, in order to evaluate statistical features of nucleotide distribution in DNA strands without any genetic relationship. Every DNA strand has been considered as a finite Markov chain; a matrix, whose elements represent the number of couplings between a nucleotide and the following one in 5'-3' direction, has been used for every DNA strand, and the statistical relationship has been detected by using Kendall's test. The genomes of Polyomavirus (strain A2) and DPV have been analysed by the proposed model; a substantial likeness between the behaviour of nucleotide distribution on all four DNA strands analysed has been shown; the strongest likeness concerned the complementary strands of Polyomavirus as well as the homologous sense strands of both viruses.
