Abstract
We study statistical properties of DNA chains of thirteen microbial complete genomes. We find that the power spectrum of several of the sequences studied flattens off in the low frequency limit. This implies the correlation length in those sequences is much smaller than the entire DNA chain. Consequently, in contradiction with previous studies, we show that the fractal behavior of DNA chains does not always prevail through the entire DNA molecule.Mesh：
