Abstract: The biomechanical properties of DNA depend on the nucleotide composition of this molecule. At the same time, the nucleotide composition on local and global scales is difficult to visualize. To do this, you can use x-rays, the clarity of which leaves much to be desired, or various imaging methods. We present a new view on the visualization of the biomechanical properties of DNA by constructing functional mappings in parametric spaces in binary-orthogonal Walsh-Rademacher functions encoding physicochemical parameters and give examples of such visualizations.

Keywords: Biomechanics, DNA, visualization, Walsh-Hadamard functions, mapping, machine analysis
