Characterizing long-range correlations in DNA sequences from wavelet analysis
The fractal scaling properties of DNA sequences are analyzed using the wavelet transform. Because the wavelet transform microscope can be made blind to the “patchiness” of genomic sequences, we demonstrate and quantify the existence of long-range correlations in genes containing introns and noncodin...

| Zusammenfassung: | The fractal scaling properties of DNA sequences are analyzed using the wavelet transform. Because the wavelet transform microscope can be made blind to the “patchiness” of genomic sequences, we demonstrate and quantify the existence of long-range correlations in genes containing introns and noncoding regions. Moreover, the fluctuations in the patchy landscapes of DNA walks are found to be homogeneous with Gaussian statistics. |
