A Fractnon is an ordered set of Pyknons as defined A. Pellionisz Fractnon.

Fraknon

FractoGene

Fractal Genomics is the fractal analysis of DNA.

• A. Pellionisz (2002) filed a patent for the FractoGene software for fractal analysis of self-similar genomic repetitions.^[1]

• Rothemun et al. (2004) suggest the potential of fractal analysis of genomic DNA.^[2]

• Benoit Mandelbrot (2004) encouraged fractal analysis of DNA. ^[3]

• Simons & Pellionisz (2006) find triangulation in Purkinje cell development. ^[4] They: "expect that a new generation of data mining tools will be required to support recursive fractal geometrical, combinatorial, and neural network models of the genomic basis of morphogenesis."
