Abstract:
Biological macromolecules have many features that resemble modern languages. Thus, linguistic approaches to the analysis of sequence information are becoming powerful tools for deciphering genetic texts. The methodologies used, to date, to determine the global parameters of the genetic language and meaningful patterns within it are described.
