论文摘要
已知遗传序列具有非平凡的组成以及其成分频率的对称性。最近，已经表明，对称性和结构在DNA中层次相互交织，这表明这两个特征都是共同的起源。但是，导致这种关系的机制尚不清楚。在这里，我们研究了遗传序列进化的生物学动机动力学。我们表明，出现了亚稳态（长期）的状态，其中序列具有对称性和结构的结构，以与现有基因组相匹配的方式。
Genetic sequences are known to possess non-trivial composition together with symmetries in the frequencies of their components. Recently, it has been shown that symmetry and structure are hierarchically intertwined in DNA, suggesting a common origin for both features. However, the mechanism leading to this relationship is unknown. Here we investigate a biologically motivated dynamics for the evolution of genetic sequences. We show that a metastable (long-lived) regime emerges in which sequences have symmetry and structure interlaced in a way that matches that of extant genomes.
