GC skew
text:
GC skew is when the nucleotides guanine and cytosine are over- or under-abundant in a particular region of DNA or RNA. GC skew is also a statistical method for measuring strand-specific guanine overrepresentation. In equilibrium conditions there is an equal frequency of the four DNA bases on both single strands of a DNA molecule. However, in most bacteria and some archaea, nucleotide compositions are asymmetric between the leading strand and the lagging strand: the leading strand contains more g
