Fractal properties of DNA walks.

چکیده
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 parts.

Multifractal 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 کاملGenome exploration in A - T G - C space introducing Icarus , a DNA walking program
DNA walks are plots of DNA or RNA sequences where each of the four nucleotide bases is assigned a direction and distance, the sequence is read off one nucleotide at a time and for each nucleotide the virtual walker takes a step in the designated direction creating a 'walk' of the sequence that reveals elements of structure in the nucleotide composition. Here we present Icarus, a web based Java ...
متن کاملSelf-avoiding walks on fractal spaces : exact results and Flory approximation
2014 Self-avoiding walks (SAW) explore the backbone of a fractal lattice, while random walks explore the full lattice. We show the existence of an intrinsic exponent for SAW and examine a simple Flory approximation that uses the spectral dimension of the backbone. Exact results for various fractal lattices show that this approximation is not very satisfactory and that properties of SAW depend o...
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. ...
متن کاملTransmission properties of one dimensional fractal structures
In this paper, the optical properties of one dimensional fractal structures are investigated. We consider six typical fractal photonic structures: the symmetric dual cantor-like fractal structure, the asymmetric dual cantor-like fractal structure, the single cantor-like fractal structure, the symmetric dual golden-section fractal structure, the asymmetric dual golden-section fractal structure a...
