Correlation property of length sequences based on global structure of the complete genome.
This paper considers three kinds of length sequences of the complete genome. Detrended fluctuation analysis, spectral analysis, and the mean distance spanned within time L are used to discuss the correlation property of these sequences. The values of the exponents from these methods of these three kinds of length sequences of bacteria indicate that the long-range correlations exist in most of these sequences. The correlations have a rich variety of behaviors including the presence of anti-correlations. Furthermore, using the exponent gamma, it is found that these correlations are all linear (gamma=1.0+/-0.03). It is also found that these sequences exhibit 1/f noise in some interval of frequency (f>1). The length of this interval of frequency depends on the length of the sequence. The shape of the periodogram in f>1 exhibits some periodicity. The period seems to depend on the length and the complexity of the length sequence.
