We have developed a FORTRAN programme for scanning DNA sequences for potential Z-DNA forming regions using the One-Sample Runs Test. The programme also detects other non-random arrangements of purines and pyrimidines on the same strand and will detect purine- or pyrimidine-rich strands and G:C- or A:T-rich regions. A series of test statistics are produced as a graphical output and these have been used to search a number of beta- type globin DNA sequences for potential Z-DNA regions whose biological significance is briefly discussed.
我们已经开发了一个FORTRAN程序,用于使用单样本游程检验扫描DNA序列以寻找潜在的Z-DNA形成区域。该程序还能检测同一条链上嘌呤和嘧啶的其他非随机排列,并且能检测富含嘌呤或嘧啶的链以及富含G:C或A:T的区域。一系列检验统计量以图形输出形式生成,并且已被用于在多个β型珠蛋白DNA序列中搜索潜在的Z-DNA区域,本文还简要讨论了这些区域的生物学意义。
