摘要: Abstract Data on DNA base composition heterogeneity and molecular size, mainly from bacteria, are compiled the literature. A series of theoretical models increasing complexity is put forward, it concluded that data support a model in which consists sequence “segments” with different underlying compositions. Estimates mean segment length variance G + C content made. The possibility excess above random results variation coded proteins considered rejected. It probably caused by variations relative use synonymous codons genes.
