DNA序列的长程相关性

Long range correlations in DNA sequences

A. K. Mohanty, A. V. S. S. Narayana Rao

摘要:

本文用一种与模型无关的方法,对单个或一组核苷酸的密度分布进行方差分析,研究了DNA序列的长程相关性质。这种新方法已被应用于提取斜率参数,表征几个含内含子和无内含子的DNA序列的相关性。所有DNA序列的一个重要方面是互补性的性质,凭借这一性质,任何两个互补分布(如GA与TC互补或G与ATC互补)在所有尺度上都具有相同的波动,尽管它们的分布函数不需要相同。由于这种互补性,著名的DNA步行表示,其统计解释仍然是未解决的是一个特殊的情况下,目前的形式主义与密度分布对应的嘌呤或嘧啶基团。大多数DNA序列的另一个有趣的方面是,阶乘矩作为长度的函数,在双对数图中方差与长度的关系显示弯曲的区域周围超过1。这是一个纯粹的现象学观察,发现了几个DNA序列与少数例外。因此,该长度尺度被用作近似测量,以从斜率分析中排除弯曲区域。核苷酸含量的不对称性或斑块结构作为长程相关的可能来源也进行了研究。

英文摘要:

The so called long range correlation properties of DNA sequences are studied using the variance analyses of the density distribution of a single or a group of nucleotides in a model independent way. This new method which was suggested earlier has been applied to extract slope parameters that characterize the correlation properties for several intron containing and intron less DNA sequences. An important aspect of all the DNA sequences is the properties of complimentarity by virtue of which any two complimentary distributions (like GA is complimentary to TC or G is complimentary to ATC) have identical fluctuations at all scales although their distribution functions need not be identical. Due to this complimentarity, the famous DNA walk representation whose statistical interpretation is still unresolved is shown to be a special case of the present formalism with a density distribution corresponding to a purine or a pyrimidine group. Another interesting aspect of most of the DNA sequences is that the factorial moments as a function of length exceed unity around a region where the variance versus length in a log-log plot shows a bending. This is a pure phenomenological observation which is found for several DNA sequences with a few exception. Therefore, this length scale has been used as an approximate measure to exclude the bending regions from the slope analyses. The asymmetries in the nucleotide contents or the patchy structure as a possible origin of the long range correlations has also been investigated.
