The application of Recurrence-Based Techniques to biopolymers is herewith introduced with an emphasis on the differences holding between the analysis of strings endowed with a mainly logical (DNA) or chemico-physical (Proteins) information content. The unique features of RQA when applied to systems in which spatial order (sequence) takes the place of time are described, showing how RQA can be considered as a complex network analysis tool particularly suited for giving a quantitative description to molecular structures at different levels of detail. The comparison of DNA sequences with text strings helps to shed light on the particular nature of biological information coding and shed light on the role of RQA technique in bioinformatics and computational biology fields.

Abstract
The application of Recurrence-Based Techniques to biopolymers is herewith introduced with an emphasis on the differences holding between the analysis of strings endowed with a mainly logical (DNA) or chemico-physical (Proteins) information content. The unique features of RQA when applied to systems in which spatial order (sequence) takes the place of time are described, showing how RQA can be considered as a complex network analysis tool particularly suited for giving a quantitative description to molecular structures at different levels of detail. The comparison of DNA sequences with text strings helps to shed light on the particular nature of biological information coding and shed light on the role of RQA technique in bioinformatics and computational biology fields.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
