摘要: The purpose of this chapter is to describe some recent progress in applying fractal concepts systems relevance biology and medicine. We review several biological characterized by geometry, with a particular focus on the long-range power-law correlations found recently DNA sequences containing noncoding material. Furthermore, we discuss finding that exponent quantifying these (“fractal complexity”) smaller for coding than sequences. also application scaling analysis dynamics heartbeat regulation, report normal heart “anticorrelations” which are absent diseased heart.
