Abstract:
The present study investigates the complex topological characteristics of DNA networks, with a specific emphasis on the innovative metric known as Connection Number (CN) as a key factor in determining network structure. The Connection Number, represented as CN(v) for a vertex v, measures the count of unique paths that link v to every other vertex in the network. By employing rigorous mathematical modeling and analysis techniques, we are able to reveal the profound implications of CN (complex networks) in characterizing the structural robustness and dynamics of information flow within DNA networks. The study of how the theory of graphs and chemicals interact is known as chemical graph theory. This paper, computing the hyper Zagreb connection index, augmented connection index, inverse sum connection index, harmonic connection index, symmetric division connection index, geometric arithmetic connection index, and atom bond connectivity connection index, of two significant types of backbone DNA and Barycentric subdivision of backbone DNA networks. Direct method computation is used to produce these Connection-based topological descriptors.

Circuit Terminology
A circuit, on the other hand, is also an interconnected system of electrical elements but must contain one or more closed paths.
Chromosome Structure
The centromere is a DNA sequence that links sister chromatids. This is also where kinetochores, protein complexes to which spindle microtubules attach, are constructed after the chromosome is replicated. The kinetochores allow the spindle microtubules to move the chromosomes within the cell during cell division.
