Abstract excerpt

Genetic sequence data banks were scanned in order to retrieve tandemly repeated pentanucleotides (pnts). It was found that among 102 (=(1024-4)/2/5) possible distinct pnts roughly each fourth is involved in tandem repeats. It is shown that tandemly repeated pnts are composed of frequently occurri...
