We report on a novel way to visualize genomic data. By considering genome coding sequences, cds, as sets of the = 61 non-stop codons, one obtains a partition of the total number of codons in each cds. Partitions exhibit a statistical property known as mixing character which characterizes how mixed the partition is. Mixing characters have been shown mathematically to exhibit a partial order known as majorization (Ruch, 1975). In previous work (Seitz and Kirwan, 2022) we developed an approach that combined mixing and entropy that is visualized as a scatter plot. If we consider all 1, 121, 505 partitions of 61 codons, this produces a plot we call the theoretical mixing space, TGMS. A normalization procedure is developed here and applied to real genomic data to produce the genome mixing signature, GMS. Example GMS’s of 19 species, including Homo sapiens, are shown and discussed. |
