摘要：

We describe two dimensional DNA walks, and analyze their fractal properties. We show results for the complete genome of S. cerevisiae. We find that the mean square deviation of the walks is superdifussive, corresponding to a fractal structure of dimension lower than two. Furthermore, the coding part of the genome seems to have smaller fractal dimension, and longer correlations, than noncoding parts. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.
