Fractal landscape analysis of DNA walks.

چکیده
By mapping nucleotide sequences onto a "DNA walk", we uncovered remarkably long-range power law correlations [Nature 356 (1992) 168] that imply a new scale invariant property of DNA. We found such long-range correlations in intron-containing genes and in non-transcribed regulatory DNA sequences, but not in cDNA sequences or intron-less genes. In this paper, we present more explicit evidences to support our findings.

Fractal properties of DNA walks.
We describe two dimensional DNA walks, and analyze their fractal properties. We show results for the complete genome of S. cerevisiae. We find that the mean square deviation of the walks is superdifussive, corresponding to a fractal structure of dimension lower than two. Furthermore, the coding part of the genome seems to have smaller fractal dimension, and longer correlations, than noncoding p...
متن کاملFractals and Hidden Symmetries in DNA
This paper deals with the digital complex representation of a DNA sequence and the analysis of existing correlations by wavelets. The symbolic DNA sequence is mapped into a nonlinear time series. By studying this time series the existence of fractal shapes and symmetries will be shown. At first step, the indicator matrix enables us to recognize some typical patterns of nucleotide distribution. ...

The sensitivity of landscape metrics to the scale effect is one of the most challenging issues in landscape ecology and quantification of land use spatial patterns. In this study, fractal dimension was employed to assess the effect of scale on the sensitivity of landscape metric in the north of Iran (around Sari) as the case study. Land use/ cover maps were derived from Landsat-8 (OLI sensor) i...
متن کاملMultifractal analysis of DNA walks and trails.
The characterization of the long-range order and fractal properties of DNA sequences has proved a difficult though rewarding task mainly due to the mosaic character of DNA consisting of many interwoven patches of various lengths with different nucleotide constitutions. We apply here a recently proposed generalization of the detrended fluctuation analysis method to show that the DNA walk constru...
متن کاملModelling dispersal behaviour on a fractal landscape
We use a spatially explicit population model to explore the population consequences of different habitat selection mechanisms on landscapes with fractal variation in habitat quality. We consider dispersal strategies ranging from random walks to perfect habitat selectors for two species of arboreal marsupial, the greater glider (Petauroides volans) and the mountain brushtail possum (Trichosurus ...
