Abstract
Biological macromolecules have many features that resemble modern lang uages. Thus, linguistic approaches to the analysis of sequence informa tion are becoming powerful tools for deciphering genetic texts. The me thodologies used, to date, to determine the global parameters of the g enetic language and meaningful patterns within it are described.
