Condensed representation of DNA primary sequences.
With rapid reporting of DNA sequences derived from automated DNA sequencing techniques, the problem of reviewing and ordering such information has become acute. We have introduced a condensed representation of primary sequences of DNA that offers an alternative method of registering DNA. The advantage of the condensed codes for DNA is that it not only offers fast, qualitative comparisons of DNA but also allows quantitative comparisons of DNA from different sources. The approach is outlined for a particular human beta globin sequence extract. Using the condensed representation of the primary DNA sequences, comparisons are made between primary sequences for Exon 1 of human beta globin and seven other beta globins.
