Abstract
Here, I discuss the usefulness of the application of special artificial neural systems - neural replicators - to study viroids - small pathogens that are short replicating RNA sequences. Using special representations of nucleotide sequences in the form of two sequences with binary components - these two sequences are incomplete representations of the same nucleotide sequence - I show that these neural systems of different sizes are replicated in a special way on them. This allows us to extract some useful information about viroids and their structure, motifs, and relationships. This study is only the first attempt to use neural replicators to analyze genetic data.Mesh:
