This paper is concerned primarily with how information is stored in viral DNA. The general problem of defining information content is discussed and a procedure for analysis extended from that of Gatlin (1972) is developed. Long range correlations in base sequences are analyzed for several viral genomes. The relationship of these correlations to the existence of strong codon biases is examined and the consequences discussed.
本文主要关注信息是如何存储在病毒DNA中的。讨论了定义信息内容的一般问题，并开发了一种从加特林（1972年）的方法扩展而来的分析程序。分析了几种病毒基因组碱基序列中的长程相关性。研究了这些相关性与强密码子偏好性存在之间的关系，并讨论了其后果。
