title: Local self-similarity of sequence in mammalian nuclear DNA is modulated by a 180 bp periodicity.
abstract: This article reports the preliminary results of a search for patterns in the strand asymmetry and local self-similarity in mammalian nuclear DNA. The study provides the basis for statistical investigations of larger-scale DNA structure, which may be correlated with genetic mechanisms or with gene function.
