| Abstract: | We use q-exponential distributions, which maximize the nonextensive entropy Sq (defined as  ), to study the size distributions of non-coding DNA (including introns and intergenic regions) in all human chromosomes. We show that the value of the exponent q describing the non-coding size distributions is similar for all chromosomes and varies between 2≤q≤2.3 with the exception of chromosomes X and Y. |
