Statistical Analysis of Hurst Exponents of Essential/Nonessential Genes in 33 Bacterial Genomes.

Methods for identifying essential genes currently depend predominantly on biochemical experiments. However, there is demand for improved computational methods for determining gene essentiality. In this study, we used the Hurst exponent, a characteristic parameter to describe long-range correlation i...
