DNA sequences shaped by selection for stability.

PLoS genetics - 1 Feb 2006

Ackermann Martin, Chao Lin

Abstract excerpt

The sequence of a stretch of nucleotides affects its propensity for errors during replication and expression. Are proteins encoded by stable or unstable nucleotide sequences? If selection for variability is prevalent, one could expect an excess of unstable sequences. Alternatively, if selection against targets for errors were substantial, an excess of stable sequences would be expected. We screened the genome...
