Expansion of tandem repeats and oligomer clustering in coding and noncoding DNA sequences
Buldyrev, Sergey V.; Dokholyan, Nikolay V.; Havlin, Shlomo - In: Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications 273 (1999) 1, pp. 19-32
We review recent studies of distribution of dimeric tandem repeats and short oligomer clustering in DNA sequences. We … find that distribution of dimeric tandem repeats in coding DNA is exponential, while in noncoding DNA it often has long … that mono-, di-, and tetramers cluster more in noncoding DNA than in coding DNA. However trimers have some degree of …

Biophysics of protein–DNA interactions and chromosome organization
Marko, John F. - In: Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications 418 (2015) C, pp. 126-153
The function of DNA in cells depends on its interactions with protein molecules, which recognize and act on base … sequence patterns along the double helix. These notes aim to introduce basic polymer physics of DNA molecules, biophysics of … protein–DNA interactions and their study in single-DNA experiments, and some aspects of large-scale chromosome structure …
