Abstract

Rice is the seed of grass species Oryza sativa (Asian rice) or Oryza glaberrima (African rice). As a cereal grain, it is the most widely consumed staple food for a large part of the world's human population, especially in Asia. It is the agricultural commodity with the third highest worldwide production (rice 741.5 million tonnes in 2014), after sugarcane (1.9 billion tonnes) and maize (1.0 billion tonnes). Rice is the most important grain with regard to human nutrition and caloric intake, providing more than one fifth of the calories consumed worldwide by humans. A Nucleic Acid sequence is a succession of letters that indicate the order of nucleotides within a DNA (using GACT) or RNA (GACU) molecule. Nucleic acids contain in formation which is used by a living cell to construct specific proteins. MATLAB (Matrix Laboratory) is a very powerful software tool for solving various types of problem in Mathematics, Science and Engineering. It is proprietary programming language developed by Math Works. MATLAB allows matrix manipulations, plotting of functions and data, implemen tation of algorithms, creation of user in terfaces, and interfacing with programs written in other languages, in cluding C, C++, C#, Java, Fortran and Python.
