Abstract

To recognize the DNA sequence and mine the hidden information to achieve the classification of organisms are viewed as a difficult work to biologists. As we know, the amino acids are the basic elements to construct DNA. Hence, if the codon usage of amino acids can be analyzed well, the useful information about classification of organisms may be obtained. However, if we choose too many amino acids to perform the clustering analysis, the high dimensions also lead the clustering analysis to be a complicated structure. Hence, in this study, we will incorporate the principle component analysis and fuzzy-ART clustering techniques into constructing an integrated approach. The useful information about organisms classification based on the codon usage can be mined by using the proposed approach. Finally, we also employ a case including 18 bacteria to demonstrate the rationality and feasibility of our proposed approach.
