The sequence-dependent statistical mechanics of double-stranded nucleic acid, or dsNA, is
believed to be essential in its biological functions. In turn, the equilibrium statistical …

Coarse-grained models have played an important role in the study of the behavior of DNA at
length scales beyond a few hundred base pairs. Traditionally, these models have relied on …

The local physical properties-such as shape and flexibility-of the DNA double-helix is today
widely believed to be influenced by nucleic acid sequence in a non-trivial way. Furthermore …

The majority of vertebrate promoters have a distinct DNA composition, known as a CpG
island. Cytosine methylation in promoter CpG islands is associated with a substantial …

Nucleic acid double helices in their DNA, RNA, and DNA-RNA hybrid form play a
fundamental role in biology and are main building blocks of artificial nanostructures, but how …
