Abstract

This study investigates the genetic codes of the Influenza virus through various visual representations, including matrix representation, chaos game representation () and DNA walks. By applying chaotic concept to these genetic code visualizations, we can able to capture even the smallest changes quickly and precisely. Unlike previous studies that relied on outdated Java software, our research uses Python and the Biopython library, providing a modern and easily accessible approach. As a result, our work offers new insights into the chaotic nature of genetic sequences and presents valuable tools for mathematicians, biologists and computer scientists to better understand genetic data through fractal geometry
