Resumo:This paper studies the genetic sequence of six species and describes a formulation of quantifying scheme inspired in the state space representation. The information of each chromosome is translated into a two dimensional plot and converted into an histogram. The information is then analysed by two methods, namely with Shannon entropy and mutual information, or the Jensen-Shannon divergence and map visualization using multidimensional scaling. Some similarity of the information content shows that scale is relevant. Therefore, the consideration of each chromosome length helps in getting a more clear picture of the species characteristics.
