Abstract: By mapping nucleotide sequences onto a “DNA walk”, we uncovered remarkably long-range power law correlations [Nature 356 (1992) 168] that simply 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.
