Isochore (genetics)
text:
In genetics, an isochore is a large region of genomic DNA with a high degree of uniformity in GC content; that is, guanine (G) and cytosine (C) bases. The distribution of bases within a genome is non-random: different regions of the genome have different amounts of G-C base pairs, such that regions can be classified and identified by the proportion of G-C base pairs they contain. Bernardi and colleagues first noticed the compositional non-uniformity of vertebrate genomes using thermal melting an
