Entropy has been proven useful in the analysis of base pair sequences in DNA. Many entropy-based measures have been shown to distinguish between different structural regions of the genome, differentiate between coding and non-coding regions of DNA, and can also be applied for the recreation of evolutionary trees by determining the evolutionary distance between different species.<ref>{{Cite journal|last1=Thanos|first1=Dimitrios|last2=Li|first2=Wentian|last3=Provata|first3=Astero|date=1 March 2018|title=Entropic fluctuations in DNA sequences|journal=Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and Its Applications|volume=493|pages=444–457|doi=10.1016/j.physa.2017.11.119|bibcode=2018PhyA..493..444T|issn=0378-4371}}</ref>
