Abstract

Comparative genomics is a powerful tool of genome functional specificity predictions and investigation of evolution specificity. Background of a large field of bioinformatics investigations is a computation of different scores of sequences and comparing them with a threshold. Comparative genomic analysis involves scores comparing for orthological groups of genetic objects. In this paper we represent a statistical approach to comparative genomic analysis, that based on investigation of diffusion in sequence space determined by neutral evolution of sequences. Using this approach we represent several statistics for selection pressure estimation and analyze statistics for several biological problems. We formulate technology of statistics applying to obtain new biological information. This approach is represented as Java-class library.
