The Study of Correlation Structures of DNA Sequences:
A Critical Review
-----------------------------------------------------
Wentian Li, Rockefeller University
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 1/f 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.
