摘要: We used a pseudorandom-walk representation in four-dimensional embedding to estimate the global fractal dimension D of 164 sequences from GenBank and generated length-matched control three types: random, matched base content, dimer content. The mean sequence was 1.631±0.137. This significantly ower than D's for all types, indicating presence significant information content DNA not explained by or frequencies. variation due largerly nonuiform distribution bases dimers within
