摘要: The coding parts of DNA sequences are regarded as clusters connected sites a random Cantor-like set, while the non-coding empty regions same set. Under this representation, we find that higher eucaryotes mapped on Cantor sets with fractal dimension around 0.85, lower organisms 1. This result indicates coding/non-coding partition in is homogeneous-like, fractal. agrees power law distribution observed eucaryotes.
