Information Entropy of Influenza A Segment 7
Information entropy (H) is a measure of uncertainty at each position within in a sequence of nucleotides. H was used to characterize a set of influenza A segment 7 nucleotide sequences. Nucleotide locations of high entropy were identified near the 5’ start of all of the sequences and the sequences were assigned to subsets according to synonymous nucleotide variants at those positions: either ur...
متن کاملA pr 2 00 7 Combinatorial Information Theory : I . Philosophical Basis of Cross - Entropy and Entropy
This study critically analyses the information-theoretic, axiomatic and combinatorial philosophical bases of the entropy and cross-entropy concepts. The combinatorial basis is shown to be the most fundamental (most primitive) of these three bases, since it gives (i) a derivation for the Kullback-Leibler cross-entropy and Shannon entropy functions, as simplified forms of the multinomial distribu...
متن کاملMutational analysis of cis-acting RNA signals in segment 7 of influenza A virus.
The genomic viral RNA (vRNA) segments of influenza A virus contain specific packaging signals at their termini that overlap the coding regions. To further characterize cis-acting signals in segment 7, we introduced synonymous mutations into the terminal coding regions. Mutation of codons that are normally highly conserved reduced virus growth in embryonated eggs and MDCK cells between 10- and 1...
متن کاملA New Model for Best Customer Segment Selection Using Fuzzy TOPSIS Based on Shannon Entropy
In today’s competitive market, for a business firm to win higher profit among its rivals, it is of necessity to evaluate, and rank its potential customer segments to improve its Customer Relationship Management (CRM). This brings the importance of having more efficient decision making methods considering the current fast growing information era. These decisions usually involve several criteria,...
متن کاملThe influenza A segment 7 mRNA 3′ splice site pseudoknot/hairpin family
The 3' splice site of the influenza A segment 7 transcript is utilized to produce mRNA for the critical M2 ion-channel protein. In solution a 63 nt fragment that includes this region can adopt two conformations: a pseudoknot and a hairpin. In each conformation, the splice site, a binding site for the SF2/ASF exonic splicing enhancer and a polypyrimidine tract, each exists in a different structu...
