Abstract excerpt
On the basis of the analysis of frequencies of occurence of pyrimidines of different length, the degree of clustering of DNA of a hundred species belonging to different taxons has been determined. A tendency towards increase in the index of DNA clustering was revealed in the sequence: bacteria, invertebrates, fishes, amphibians, reptiles, birds, mammals. A mechanism is postulated, according to which an increase...
