Abstract: Strand asymmetry in nucleotide composition is a remarkable feature of animal mitochondrial genomes. The strand-specific bias in the nucleotide composition of the mtDNA has been known to be highly problematic for phylogenetic analyses. Here, the… read more here.

Abstract: Internal loops within structured nucleic acids disrupt local base stacking and destabilize neighboring helical domains; however, these structural motifs also expand the conformational and functional capabilities of structured nucleic acids. Variations in the size, distribution… read more here.
