Byte patterns - Human DNA

Hi all,

So you may have read my previous blog on counting bytes in a file. Well, I figured that as DNA is just a combination of letters (which stand for the chemicals involved) I figured I could see the ratio of the different chemicals by using my code. Would I find anything interesting?

So here they are:

X-Chromosome

Y-Chromosome


As you can see, not a lot 'interesting'. I was hoping that there would be some definite differences between the two. Saying that however, maybe the similarities and the ratio are the interesting thing about the result.

Oh, in case you are wondering. I haven't discovered a new chemical involved in DNA. That's actually line breaks!

Thanks for reading!
