Alignment-free k-mer-based algorithms in whole genome sequence comparisons remain an ongoing challenge. Here, we explore the possibility to use Topic Modeling for organism whole-genome comparisons. We analyzed 30 complete genomes from three bacterial families by topic modeling. For this, each genome was considered as a document and 13-mer nucleotide representations as words. Latent Dirichlet allocation was used as the probabilistic modeling of the corpus. We where able to identify the topic distribution among analyzed genomes, which is highly consistent with traditional hierarchical classification. It is possible that topic modeling may be applied to establish relationships between genome’s composition and biological phenomena.

| selected citations These citations are derived from selected sources. This is an alternative to the "Influence" indicator, which also reflects the overall/total impact of an article in the research community at large, based on the underlying citation network (diachronically). | 3 | |
| popularity This indicator reflects the "current" impact/attention (the "hype") of an article in the research community at large, based on the underlying citation network. | Average | |
| influence This indicator reflects the overall/total impact of an article in the research community at large, based on the underlying citation network (diachronically). | Average | |
| impulse This indicator reflects the initial momentum of an article directly after its publication, based on the underlying citation network. | Average |
