Abstract
The main goal of this paper is to show the 2D fractal signatures of SARS-CoV2 coronavirus, indicator matrixes maps showing the concentration of nucleotide acids are built form the RNA sequences, and then the fractal dimension and 2D Directional Wavelet Transform (DCWT) are calculated. Analysis of 21 RNA sequences downloaded from NCBI database shows that indicator matrixes and 2D DCWT exhibit the same patterns with different positions, while the fractal dimensions are oscillating around 1.60. A comparison with SARS-CoV, MERS-CoV and SARS-like Coronavirus shows slightly different fractal dimensions, however the indicator matrix and 2D DCWT exhibit the same patterns for the couple (SARS-CoV2, SARS-CoV) and (MERS-CoV, SARS-like) Coronavirus. Obtained results show that SARS-CoV2 is probably a result of SARS-CoV mutation process.
