Abstract

It is shown that the levels of ordering in protein coding and noncoding stretches of DNA sequences reflect the complexity of the spatial structures associated with them. The more complicated structures need higher information and are encoded by the more irregular stretches. Therefore, the interrelationship between ordering in exons and introns is not universal but depends on the mutual complexity of the corresponding spatial structures.
