Sequence context of oligomer tracts in eukaryotic DNA: biological and conformational implications.

Recent studies of homooligomer tracts suggest different characteristics from random sequence DNA (dA).(dT) and (dG).(dC) tracts are frequent in upstream regions and in some cases have been shown to be essential for regulation. Here we examine homooligomer occurrences in non-coding and coding eukaryotic sequences, focusing on the context in which the homooligomers occur. This analysis of sequences in the junction areas yields distinct and consistent characteristics. In particular, the nucleotide interrupting a run is most frequently complementary to the run. The base next to it is most frequently identical to the one constituting the run. For A or T runs the least frequent nearest and next to nearest neighbors are G or C. For G or C tracts the least frequent are A or T. Complementary oligomers behave similarly. These and additional trends are strongest for run lengths greater than or equal to 3. The computations are carried out on the whole eukaryotic database of greater than 4 x 10(6) nucleotides, separately for coding and non-coding regions. These same trends are evident for both groups, but are somewhat stronger for the non-coding regions. The context in which the homooligomers occur may yield some clues to DNA conformation and its biological implications.
