title: Correlations between the coding and non-coding regions in DNA.
abstract: In this paper various aspects of codon usage and k-tuple correlations in the DNA are compared. It is shown that the correlation structures of the coding and the non-coding regions are very similar and that codon usage is reasonably specific for large groups of organisms. These results suggest that the origin of codon usage is related to the origin and structure of the DNA.
