Abstract
A new method is proposed for measuring and comparing the redundancy of genetic texts. It is based on compiling for a given text a frequency/ correlation dictionary encompassing all the words (subsequences) of le ngth from 1 to N encountered in the text (N is text length); the measu re of redundancy is the minimal length at which all words are unique. Preliminary results are reported for different genetic texts.
