Abstract(s)
This paper studies the information content of the chromosomes of 24 species. In a first
phase, a scheme inspired in dynamical system state space representation is developed.
For each chromosome the state space dynamical evolution is shed into a two dimensional
chart. The plots are then analyzed and characterized in the perspective of fractal dimension.
This information is integrated in two measures of the species’ complexity addressing
its average and variability. The results are in close accordance with phylogenetics pointing
quantitative aspects of the species’ genomic complexity.
