Investigations of oligonucleotide usage variance within and between prokaryotes.

PLoS computational biology - 18 Apr 2008

Bohlin Jon, Skjerve Eystein, Ussery David W

Abstract excerpt

Oligonucleotide usage in archaeal and bacterial genomes can be linked to a number of properties, including codon usage (trinucleotides), DNA base-stacking energy (dinucleotides), and DNA structural conformation (di- to tetranucleotides). We wanted to assess the statistical information potential of different DNA 'word-sizes' and explore how oligonucleotide frequencies differ in coding and non-coding regions. In...
