GC-compositional strand bias around transcription start sites in plants and fungi

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>A GC-compositional strand bias or GC-skew (=(C-G)/(C+G)), where C and G denote the numbers of cytosine and guanine residues, was recently reported near the transcription start sites (TSS) of <it>Arabidopsis </it>genes. Ho...
