Abstract
Editorial: Z-curve Applications in Genome Analysis.
Highlights
It is my pleasure to be a guest editor for the special issue on Z-curve applications in genome analysis
We are living in the genomic era and facing an avalanche of sequencing information; two decades ago, not a single genome sequence of free-living organisms was available
With a background in theoretical physics, one of my aims was to develop a geometrical method, or a curve, that constitutes a one-to-one correspondence with the DNA sequence, so that the study of DNA could be shifted to the study of the curve
Summary
It is my pleasure to be a guest editor for the special issue on Z-curve applications in genome analysis. In 1995, Venter and colleagues published the first genome sequence of a free-living organism, the bacterium Haemophilus influenzae, which has a genome of 1,830,137 bases. I commenced the research on DNA sequence analysis in the 1980s.
