Abstract
Analysis of the frequency of occurrence of short oligonucleotides in typical bacterial genomes reveals that they exhibit the statistical characteristics of a DNA sequence of a much shorter length. This peculiar property suggests a model for genome growth in which a genome evolves by random mutation but primarily grows by random segmental self-copying. Computer-generated genome sequence based on this model indeed has statistical properties similar to those of bacterial genomes.
