Large-scale Oscillation of Structure-Related DNA Sequence Features in Human Chromosome 21
Wentian Li, Pedro Miramontes
Human chromosome 21 is the only chromosome in human genome that exhibits oscillation of (G+C)-content of cycle length of hundreds kilobases (500 kb near the right telomere). We aim…

Universal 1/f noise, cross-overs of scaling exponents, and chromosome specific patterns of GC content in DNA sequences of the human genome
Wentian Li, Dirk Holste
Spatial fluctuations of guanine and cytosine base content (GC%) are studied by spectral analysis for the complete set of human genomic DNA sequences. We find that (i) the 1/f^alpha…

An Unusual 500,000 Bases Long Oscillation of Guanine and Cytosine Content in Human Chromosome 21
Wentian Li, Dirk Holste
An oscillation with a period of around 500 kb in guanine and cytosine content (GC%) is observed in the DNA sequence of human chromosome 21. This oscillation is localized in the rig…
