Selection for ancient periodic motifs that do not impart DNA bending.

PLoS genetics - 1 Oct 2020

Atzinger Aletheia, Lawrence Jeffrey G

Abstract excerpt

A ~10-11 bp periodicity in dinucleotides imparting DNA bending, with shorter periods found in organisms with positively-supercoiled DNA and longer periods found in organisms with negatively-supercoiled DNA, was previously suggested to assist in DNA compaction. However, when measured with more robust methods, variation in the observed periods between organisms with different growth temperatures is not consistent...
