We study statistical patterns in the DNA sequence of human chromosome 22, the first completely sequenced human chromosome. We find that (i). the 33.4 x 10(6) nucleotide long human chromosome exhibits long-range power-law correlations over more than four orders of magnitude, (ii). the entropies H(n) of the frequency distribution of oligonucleotides of length n (n-mers) grow sublinearly with increasing n, indicating the presence of higher-order correlations for all of the studied lengths 1
