The “genomic code”: DNA pervasively moulds chromatin structures leaving no room for “Junk”

G Bernardi - Life, 2021 - mdpi.com
The chromatin of the human genome was analyzed at three DNA size levels. At the first,
compartment level, two “gene spaces” were found many years ago: A GC-rich, gene-rich …

The genomic code: A pervasive encoding/molding of chromatin structures and a solution of the “non‐coding DNA” mystery

G Bernardi - BioEssays, 2019 - Wiley Online Library
Recent investigations have revealed 1) that the isochores of the human genome group into
two super‐families characterized by two different long‐range 3D structures, and 2) that these …

Main Factors Shaping Amino Acid Usage Across Evolution

G Lamolle, D Simón, A Iriarte, H Musto - Journal of Molecular Evolution, 2023 - Springer
The standard genetic code determines that in most species, including viruses, there are 20
amino acids that are coded by 61 codons, while the other three codons are stop triplets …

The formation of chromatin domains involves a primary step based on the 3-D structure of DNA

G Bernardi - Scientific Reports, 2018 - nature.com
The general model presented here for the formation of chromatin domains, LADs and TADs,
is primarily based on the 3-D structures of the corresponding DNA sequences, the GC-poor …

IsoXpressor: a tool to assess transcriptional activity within isochores
