Intermittency as a universal characteristic of the complete chromosome DNA sequences of eukaryotes: From protozoa to human genomes
Large-scale dynamical properties of complete chromosome DNA sequences of
eukaryotes are considered. By the proposed deterministic models with
intermittency and symbolic dynamics we describe a wide spectrum of large-scale
patterns inherent in these sequences, such as segmental duplications, tandem
repeats, and other complex sequence structures. It is shown that the recently
discovered gene number balance on the strands is not of random nature, and a
complete chromosome DNA sequence exhibits the properties of deterministic
chaos.Comment: 4 pages, 5 figure
