Differences in DNA curvature-related sequence periodicity between prokaryotic chromosomes and phages, and relationship to chromosomal prophage content
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Periodic spacing of A-tracts (short runs of A or T) with the DNA helical period of ~10–11 bp is characteristic of intrinsically bent DNA. In eukaryotes, the DNA bending is related to chromatin structure and nucleosome positioning. Ho...
