Traditional alignment-based methods meet serious challenges in genome sequence comparison and phylogeny reconstruction due to their high computational complexity. Here, we propose a new alignment-free method to analyze the phylogenetic relationships (classification) among species. In our method, the dynamical language (DL) model and the chaos game representation (CGR) method are used to characterize the frequency information and the context information of k-mers in a sequence, respectively. Then for each DNA sequence or protein sequence in a dataset, our method converts the sequence into a feature vector that represents the sequence information based on CGR weighted by the DL model to infer phylogenetic relationships. We name our method CGRWDL. Its performance was tested on both DNA and protein sequences of 8 datasets of viruses to construct the phylogenetic trees. We compared the Robinson-Foulds (RF) distance between the phylogenetic tree constructed by CGRWDL and the reference tree by other advanced methods for each dataset. The results show that the phylogenetic trees constructed by CGRWDL can accurately classify the viruses, and the RF scores between the trees and the reference trees are smaller than that with other methods. |
