Fractal dimension (FD) of oligonucleotide composition is presented as an analog of genetic text complexity. FD for prokaryotic and eukaryotic sequences are estimated. Reliable differences between FD of coding and non-coding sequences in higher organisms are demonstrated. At the same time similar value of coding regions from different sources illustrate stability of such sequences against evolutionary processes. The proposed method provides a fast calculation of FD value for sequences of any length.
