The Graph, Geometry and Symmetries of the Genetic Code with Hamming Metric

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...
