Abstract excerpt
The scale-free, long-range correlations detected in DNA sequences contrast with characteristic lengths of genomic elements, being particularly incompatible with the isochores (long, homogeneous DNA segments). By computing the local behavior of the scaling exponent alpha of detrended fluctuation analysis (DFA), we discriminate between sequences with and without true scaling, and we find that no single scaling...
