Abstract: In this paper biological sequences are modelled by stationary ergodic sequences. A new family of statistical tests to characterize the randomness of the inputs is proposed and analyzed. Tests for independence and for the determination of the appropriate order of a Markov chain are constructed with the Chaos Game Representation (CGR), and applied to several genomes.
