The optimal metric for viral genome space.

Understanding the structural similarity between genomes is pivotal in classification and phylogenetic analysis. As the number of known genomes rockets, alignment-free methods have gained considerable attention. Among these methods, the natural vector method stands out as it represents sequences as vectors using statistical moments, enabling effective clustering based on families in biological taxonomy. However, determining an optimal metric that combines different elements in natural vectors remains challenging due to the absence of a rigorous theoretical framework for weighting different
