| الوصف: | We describe two dimensional DNA walks, and analyze their fractal properties. We show results for the complete genome of S. cerevisiae. We find that the mean square deviation of the walks is superdifussive, corresponding to a fractal structure of dimension lower than two. Furthermore, the coding part of the genome seems to have smaller fractal dimension, and longer correlations, than noncoding parts. Key words: DNA sequences. Random walks. Fractals. S. cerevisiae. 1 Introduction There is a growing interest in the scientific community in studying DNA sequences from a physical or mathematical point of view. It has been claimed that long range correlations exist in DNA (Peng et al., 1992; Voss, 1992; Mantegna et al., 1994; Li et al., 1994; Mantegna et al., 1995), as well as the contrary (Azbel, 1995), and several controversial points have been discussed in the last years. (See, for example, the series of comments that followed (Mantegna et al., 1994) in (Israeloff et al., 1996; Bonhoef. |
