The architecture of the genome integrates scale independence with inverse symmetry Greg Warr* [1,†] , Les Hatton [2,†]

https://www.academia.edu/3064-9765/2/2/10.20935/AcadMolBioGen7650 The simplest building blocks of the genome, the k-mers, show two properties that are arguably universal. First, their frequency distribution is scale-free (a vari- ant Zipfian or power-law distribution). Second is the inverse symmetry of k-mers on the same strand. It is clear that these phenomena are linked;...
