Abstract
An approach to the study of the properties of genetic texts is propose d. It is based on the investigation of the frequencies of all possible words (subsequences) in a text. The most important effect is that the original text could be reconstructed completly without deletions and/ or mistakes using the set of words which are met in the text as a sing le copy. The length of words for which the effect occurs is a measure of the text redundancy. Some real genetic sequences were studied as we ll.
