Army Research Office, Research Triangle Park, NC.

The √ n-rule of Schrödinger in his discussion of DNA is based onnormal statistics and equilibrium physics. Herein the kurtosis is used tomeasure the deviation from normality of the stistics of non-equilibrium DNAsequences. A pattern for this deviation from normality is identified andthis signature is found in prokaryotes. The signature is explained by atheory of DNA sequences that involves finite length DNA walks withdynamically generated long-range correlations.
