Abstract: We have used an improved block-entropy measure in order to gain some further insights into the short-range correlations present in whole chromosomes of S. cerevisiae, viruses and organelles and very large genomic regions of E. coli. Although DNA sequences are largely inhomogeneous and word frequencies are unevenly distributed, the comparison of entire chromosomes and large genomic regions show a
