Abstract
In this paper we use wavelet analysis in order to probe the localized structure of DNA sequences. We demonstrate that, unlike other conventi onal approaches, wavelets are able to decompose seemingly homogeneous regions in noncoding sequences into smaller distinct regions that obey their own repetition and construction rules. The significance of this result to gene evolution is discussed.
