Geometrical Study of Virus RNA Sequences

Abstract

In this contribution, some applications of the earlier developed fast algorithm of calculating coordinates of single nucleotides and RNA fragments are considered to create multi-scale geometrical models of RNAs and their mutations. The algorithm allows to plot single nucleotides and RNA’s fragments on one figure and to track the RNA mutations of any level visually and numerically using interpolation formulas and point-to-point estimates of coordinates of ATG starting triplets and single nucleotides. The performed study of many samples of SARS CoV-2 viruses shows perturbations of ATG starting triplet coordinates in the vicinity of orf1ab gene end only.
