This is a presentation titled "Additive Methods to Overcome the Limitations of Genomic Signature," that I gave
at the conference "Computationally Assisted Mathematical Discovery and Experimental Mathematics,"ACMES,
May 12-15 2016, London, Canada, hosted by University of Western Ontario's Rotman Institute of Philosophy.
I describe the use of CGR — Chaos Game Representation — of DNA sequences,
a method to convert a DNA sequence into a two-dimensional image.
It has been shown that CGRs of genomic sequences are species-specific, and that the patterns visible in the CGR of
a genomic sequence are independent of the length and the location of that sequence in the genome.
Hence CGRs of genomic (sub)sequences can be used as a "genomic signature" of the
organism they belong to, and utilized for taxonomic identification a classification of species.
