ABSTRACT
Ophir D, Gera A,
Analysis of n-nary tract frequency in the genome,
Online Journal of Bioinformatics 6 (2)
142-148, 2005. The investigation of n-nary
tracts has arisen following the discovery of over-representation of
binary tracts in the genome. This work describes
frequencies of ternary tracts in diverse gene locations using the p53 gene as an
example. Results suggested that binary sub-tracts dominated over ternary tracts. The
uniformity in the p53 gene was 62.5% greater than in a
random sequence. This suggests that ternary tracts
proprieties derive from lengthy binary subtracts and would not
have a role in the gene.
KEYWORDS: Unary tract, binary tract, ternary tract, n-nary tract.
