title: On the existence of scaling in DNA sequences.
abstract: A re-evaluation of the properties of the random walks generated from DNA sequences reveals that previously reported scaling (appropriate to either pure random walks or long-range correlations) cannot be justified. Thus our analysis cannot support the claim that different evolutionary categories exhibit different scaling.
