A population genetic model of selection that maintains specific trinucleotides at a specific location.

Abstract excerpt

Periodic appearances of specific trinucleotides along the DNA sequence have been reported in the chicken core DNA, and the phenomenon has been suggested to be related to the supercoiling of DNA around nucleosomes. A population genetic model is constructed in which selection is operating to maintain specific trinucleotides at a specific location on the DNA sequence. Assuming low mutation rates, equilibrium...
