Self-Similarity Limits of Genomic Signatures

It is shown that metric representation of DNA sequences is one-to-one. By using the metric representation method, suppression of nucleotide strings in the DNA sequences is determined. For a DNA sequence, an optimal string length to display genomic signature in chaos game representation is obtained by eliminating effects of the finite sequence. The optical string length is further shown as a self- similarity limit in computing information dimension. By using the method, self-similarity limits of bacteria complete genomic signatures are further determined.
