Connecting math-equations to A,C,T,G coding in genome; making biology a mathematical science

schreef I do this by combining both large leaf with small leaf in open field and seek a physics parameter of energy. So I need to tie together the size of the mature plant to the leaf size to predict whether the plant likes open field sunlight rather than shade. *** Surely there are better "parameters of energy" than "mature plant size" PvR Mature plant size is an important parameter. But thinking today I was struck by a thought that there is a hidden mathematics in equation form in the ACTG coding of the genome. What I mean is that there is a math formula for the energy pathways in a plant for small leaves and mature size as well as for the large leafed plant and mature size. Suppose, just a guess, that it is some trigonometry function that connects leaf size with mature plant size and suppose it is secant function. Now suppose we had the full genome of rhubarb and of knotweed before us and all we see is the letter codes of A,C,T,G. But now, let us replace those letters with digits and ask ourselves can we find a string of those coding that is a secant function in mathematics. So what I am getting at is a complete tie and connecting of mathematics to biology genome and physics. So the physicist works out the energy pathway of rhubarb plant of leaf size and mature plant size and finds (for the sake of this argument) that the pathway of energy is a secant function. Now the biologist jumps in and with a replacing of the letters with numbers and looks for a string of those genomes that is a secant function. You see, I believe we can do better with the genome, instead of A,C,T,G codes that there are numbers involved and as we assign each letter with a number that patterns will be seen and hint of a mathematical structure. Perhaps the energy pathway is not a trig function but a exponential function or some other function and suppose it is a rather rare function. And would it not be exciting to replace the letters ACTG with numbers and the rare function comes popping out of the genome for rhubarb or knotweed. The Genome project of A,C,T,G reminds me of past glory days of physics when spectral lines were just coming onto the scene and how spectral lines would transform physics and all the other sciences and engineering and technology. And I think the Genome project will make a huge impact on the world as spectral line physics did in the 20th century. And that is a good analogy of the spectral lines of the 20th century to the genome project of the 21st where one was a window into the workings of physics and the other is a window into how biology works.
