The Graph, Geometry and Symmetries of the Genetic Code with Hamming Metric
The similarity patterns of the genetic code result from similar codons encoding similar messages. We develop a new mathematical model to analyze these patterns. The physicochemical characteristics of amino acids objectively quantify their differences and similarities; the Hamming metric does the sam...
