Chapter 8 Shape Metrics

And the earth was without form, and void.

—Genesis

Overview

The VGM defines various shape metrics based on 2D topology of genomes in strands, 2D topology of glyph features within genomes, and 3D statistical measures of volume projections in CAM neural clusters. The shape metrics are discussed under the following sections:

–Strand topological shape metrics: strands of genomes, 2D relationships

–Volume projection shape metrics: 3D volume statistical measures

–Genome structure shape metrics: internal 2D glyph feature arrangements

A set of classifiers are provided in the VGM platform for shape, including metrics correspondence classifiers (MCCs) and group metric classifiers (GMCs), discussed in detail below.
