Abstract
The √n-rule of Schrodinger in his discussion of DNA is based on normal statistics and equilibrium physics. Herein the kurtosis is used to measure the deviation from normality of the stistics of non-equilibrium DNA sequences. A pattern for this deviation from normality is identified and this signature is found in prokaryotes. The signature is explained by a theory of DNA sequences that involves finite length DNA walks with dynamically generated long-range correlations.File in questo prodotto:
