Long-Range Correlation and Partial 1/ f α Spectrum in a Noncoding DNA Sequence
Abstract
Mutual information function, which is an alternative to correlation function for symbolic sequences, and a “symbolic spectrum” are calculated for a human DNA sequence containing mostly intron segments, those that do not code for proteins. It is observed that the mutual information function of this sequence decays very slowly, and the correlation length is extremely long (at least 800 bases). The symbolic spectrum of the sequence at very low frequencies can be approximated by 1/ f α , where f is the frequency and α ranges from 0.5 to 0.85. It is suggested that the existence of the repetitive patterns in the sequence is mainly responsible for the observed long-range correlation. A possible connection between this long-range correlation and those in music notes is also briefly discussed.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
