Abstract:
New method to reveal the sites in genomes obtaining the high information capacity is developed. A distribution of those sites of the length 3 among 16 viral genomes and 11 bacteriophages genomes has been studied. It is shown that some triplets with high information capacity occur in a family of relatively close genomes with the increased frequency. The molecular evolution aspects of a persistence of highly scored sites with respect to their information capacity among various genomes are discussed.

RNA is the Missing Link Between DNA and Proteins
In the early 1900s, scientists discovered that DNA stores all the information needed for cellular functions and that proteins perform most of these functions. However, the mechanisms of converting genetic information into functional proteins remained unknown for many years. Initially, it was believed that a single gene is...
