title: Modern coding sequences are in the periodic-to-chaotic transition.
abstract: Modern coding sequences are in the periodic-to-chaotic transition. In the case of alpha A-crystallin coding sequence of the chicken, the initial tetrameric periodicity of the primordial tetramer C C T G has been decaying by the golden mean: the 4, 7, 11 rule. Thus, the tetramer has become parts of recurring heptamers, and some heptamers have become parts of the 11-base-long repeating units.
