Abstract excerpt
Although the three-letter genetic code that maps nucleotide sequence to protein sequence is well known, there must exist other codes that are embedded in the human genome. Recent work points to sequence-dependent variation in DNA shape as one mechanism by which regulatory and other information could be encoded in DNA. Recent advances include the discovery of shape-dependent recognition of DNA that depends on...
