This article reviews contributions to this theme issue covering the topic 'DNA as
information'in relation to the structure of DNA, the measure of its information content, the role …

On the one hand, biology, chemistry and also physics tell us how the process of translating
the genetic information into life could possibly work, but we are still very far from a complete …

Functional DNA sub-sequences and genome elements are spatially clustered through the
genome just as keywords in literary texts. Therefore, some of the methods for ranking words …

Abstract Killer Immunoglobulin-like Receptors (KIR) comprise a diverse, highly polymorphic
family of cell-surface glycoproteins that are principally expressed by Natural Killer (NK) cells …

Background Statistical approaches to genetic sequences have revealed helpful to gain
deeper insight into biological and structural functionalities, using ideas coming from …

Genome organization in eukaryotes during interphase stems from the delicate balance
between non-random correlations present in the DNA polynucleotide linear sequence and …

Introduction Physical and mathematical modeling find a wide range of application in many

In this thesis we will see that the DNA sequence is constantly shaped by the interactions with
its environment at multiple levels, showing footprints of DNA methylation, of its 3D …

Alcuni risultati ottenuti studiando le proprietà statistiche dei dinucleotidi all'interno del DNA
umano, mostrano che l'andamento delle distribuzioni delle interdistanze dei dinucleotidi TA …
