En statistisk undersökning av transkriptionsnoggrannheten i kodande DNA-sekvenser i E.coli-bakterien
Bacteria are exposed to evolutionary pressure to an extent unlike other organisms. This leads to a high degree of adaptation to its surrounding. This thesis investigates the degree of adaptation towards higher accuracy in the transcription of DNA to RNA in coding sequences in the DNA of the E. coli bacteria. Two coding sequences with different nucleotide contents were investigated. Goodness-of-fit tests were performed but no significant adaptation towards higher transcription accuracy was found in the investigated sequences.
