It is known that some dimeric tandem repeats (DTR) are very abundant in noncoding DNA. We find that certain DTR length distribution functions in noncoding DNA can be fit by a power law function. We analyze a simplified model of unequal chromosomal crossing over and find that it produces a stable...

We review recent studies of distribution of dimeric tandem repeats and short oligomer clustering in DNA sequences. We find that distribution of dimeric tandem repeats in coding DNA is exponential, while in noncoding DNA it often has long power-law tails. We explain this phenomenon using mutation...
