Abstract excerpt
The recent determination of the complete sequence of chromosome III from the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae allows, for the first time, the investigation of the long range primary structure of a eukaryotic chromosome. We have found that, against a background G+C level of about 35%, there are two regions (one in each chromosome arm) in which G+C values rise to over 50%. This effect is seen in silent sites within...
