Abstract: | We examine the size and spatial distributions of the protein-coding and control segments of genes in DNA nucleotide sequences from GenBank. Phylogenetic analysis of these data suggests the presence of spatial order in sequences of higher organisms, irrespective of the nature of nucleotide base content. This is characterized by defined two-point correlation functions and measured by fractal dimensions and singularity spectrum. |
