This paper examines the irregularity of 6-base occurrences in bacterial genomes using a probabilistic mathematical method, and reveals that bacterial genomes can be divided into two groups, with the coding sequences in the second group being less susceptible to evolutionary changes than those in the first group.
In this paper, we attempted to find a relation between bacteria living conditions and their genome algorithmic complexity. We developed a probabilistic mathematical method for the evaluation of k-words (6 bases length) occurrence irregularity in bacterial gene coding sequences. For this, the coding sequences from different bacterial genomes were analyzed and as an index of k-words occurrence irregularity, we used W, which has a distribution similar to normal. The research results for bacterial genomes show that they can be divided into two uneven groups. First, the smaller one has W in the interval from 170 to 475, while for the second it is from 475 to 875. Plants, metazoan and virus genomes also have W in the same interval as the first bacterial group. We suggested that second bacterial group coding sequences are much less susceptible to evolutionary changes than the first group ones. It is also discussed to use the W index as a biological stress value.
