Abstract

We showed in the previous report a method to represent the base Sequence space on a plane as a fractal projected pattern of multi-dimensional hyper-tetrahedron. Mutants population was plotted on this map to give a visual representation of a functional region in the base sequence space (the mutants spectrum) and of the correlation of mutations. Here we report firstly the possibility of reduction of the sequence space in order to extend this method to higher dimension and secondly the sequence diversity along viral genomes.
