Most methods for analysis of genomic data work with symbolic sequences. Numerically represented genomic sequences can be analyzed by signal processing methods. A new method of numerical representation of DNA sequences, nucleotide density vectors, is proposed in this thesis. Usability of this method for purposes of molecular species identification is tested on DNA barcoding sequences. DNA barcoding is modern and popular methodology based on comparison of short mitochondrial DNA sequences. Beside species identification by proposed method based on nucleotide density vectors, higher taxa rank identification (e.g. families) was also tested. Furthermore, dendrograms were constructed from standardly used evolutionary distances and distances between nucleotide density vectors and the dendrograms were compared.
