Data compression and genomes: A two-dimensional life domain map

We define the complexity of DNA sequences as the information content per nucleotide, calculated by means of some Lempel–Ziv data compression algorithm. It is possible to use the statistics of the complexity values of the functional regions of different complete genomes to distinguish among genomes o...
