Description

Genomic researchers are often interested in counts of the nucleotide base in a genetic sequence. The Bioinformatics Toolbox contains functions for counting sequences of length one and two, ie individual bases and dimers. But there is currently no way of visualising counts of longer sequences. We turn to some work by Carr that advocates using a fractal visualisation, which is extensible (in theory) to arbitrarily long sequences.
