Abstract
This paper is devoted to the comparative stude of redundancy of geneti c texts of various organisms and viruses. To determine the tedundance of a gene, we have introduced the strict measure for that latter. The measure for a text's redundance is the length of restriction of Freque nce/Correlation Dictionary of a given genetic text. Frequence/Correlat ion Dictionary is the ser of all subsequences belang to a given geneti c text, accompanied by the frequencies of their occurrence. The restri ction length is defined as that one, for which all the subsequences (o f that length) are unique. We have found, that genes of human viruses are less redundant, in comparison to those of human genes. Other aspec ts of a comparative redundance invastigations of the genes are discuss ed. The problem of the determination of <<truet>> intron could be trea ted by this methodology, as well, as the evolution of genome.
