The Study of Correlation Structures of DNA Sequences: A Critical Review
The study of correlation structure in the primary sequences of DNA is
reviewed. The issues reviewed include: symmetries among 16 base-base
correlation functions, accurate estimation of correlation measures, the
relationship between and Lorentzian spectra, heterogeneity in DNA
sequences, different modeling strategies of the correlation structure of DNA
sequences, the difference of correlation structure between coding and
non-coding regions (besides the period-3 pattern), and source of broad
distribution of domain sizes. Although some of the results remain
controversial, a body of work on this topic constitutes a good starting point
for future studies.Comment: LaTeX, two figures, postscript is expected to be 46 pages. To appear
