ABSTRACT

Proteins express information not just individually, but also collectively in sets. Accordingly, set principles and applications have entered several discussions up to now. The present chapter delves more deeply by way of proteomes: complete sets of sequences encoded by the genomes of organisms and viruses. The examples add to the probability structures and correspondences illustrated in preceding chapters. Probability and information further draw out protein set topologies, both external and internal. These are abstractions which bring to light shape and growth correspondences of sets.
