Abstract
We have analyzed third position in codons and have observed strong long-ran ge correlations along DNA sequence. We have shown that the correlations are caused mostly by asymmetric replication. In the analysis, we have used a D NA walk (spider analysis Cebrat et al., Microbial Comparative Genomics 2(4) (1997) 259-268) in two-dimensional space [A-T,G-C]. The particular case of the E. coli sequence has been studied in detail. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
