The new method to compare two (or several) symbol sequences is developed. The method is based on the comparison of the frequencies of the small fragments of the compared sequences; it requires no string editing or other transformations of the compared objects. The comparison is provided through a calculation of the specific entropy of a frequency dictionary against the special dictionary called the hybrid one; the latter is the statistical ancestor of the group of sequences to be compared. Some applications of the method developed to genetics, bioinformatics, and linguistics are discussed.
