Abstract:
This paper investigates the complexity of DNA sequences in maize and soybean using the multifractal detrended fluctuation analysis (MF-DFA) method, chaos game representation (CGR), and the complexity-entropy plane approach. The study aims to understand the patterns and structures of these DNA sequences, which can provide insights into their genetic makeup and improve crop yield and quality. The results show that maize and soybean DNA sequences exhibit fractal properties, indicating a complex and self-organizing structure. We observe the persistence trend between sequences of base pairs, which indicates long-range correlations between base pairs. We also identified the stochastic nature of the DNA sequences of both species.

DNA Agarose Gel Electrophoresis
Gel extraction follows five major steps: running gel electrophoresis to separate fragments, isolating the individual bands, extracting DNA from those bands, and removing the dye and salts from the extracted mixture to obtain pure DNA.
