}Long-range power-law correlations have been reported recently for DNA sequences containing noncoding regions. We address the question of whether such correlations may be a trivial consequence of the known mosaic structure ("patchiness") of DNA. We analyze two classes of controls consisting of patchy nucleotide sequences generated by different algorithms--one without and one with long-range power-law correlations. Although both types of sequences are highly heterogenous, they are quantitatively…

It is found that, by themselves, neither the alternation of coding and noncoding regions, nor repetitive sequences, can fully explain the long-range correlation properties of DNA.

It is shown that long-range correlations, implying scale independence, appear in several bacterial genomes as well as in long human chromosome contigs.

This work addresses the claim of Voss that there is no difference in the statistical properties of coding and non-coding regions of DNA by systematically applying the DFA algorithm, as well as standard FFT analysis, to every DNA sequence in the entire GenBank database.

It is found that cytosine-guanine (CG) concentration does have a strong "background" effect on redundancy, and for the purine-pyrimidine binary mapping rule, the Shannon redundancy for the set of analyzed sequences is larger for noncoding regions compared to coding regions.

It is concluded that a mixture of many length scales (including some relatively long ones) in DNA sequences is responsible for the observed 1 f -like spectral component.

There is evidence, based on systematic studies of the entire GenBank database, supporting the idea that the DNA sequence in genes containing noncoding regions is correlated, and that the correlation is remarkably long range, i.e., base pairs thousands of base pairs distant are correlated.
