## Abstract There are two intriguing paradoxes in molecular biologyβthe inconsistent relationship between organismal complexity and (1) cellular DNA content and (2) the number of proteinβcoding genesβreferred to as the Cβvalue and Gβvalue paradoxes, respectively. The Cβvalue paradox may be largely

β¦ Synopsis
In this paper various aspects of codon usage and k-tuple correlations in the DNA are compared. It is shown that the correlation structures of the coding and the noncoding regions are very similar and that codon usage is reasonably specific for large groups of organisms. These results suggest that the origin of codon usage is related to the origin and structure of the DNA.

We study the length distribution functions for the 16 possible distinct dimeric tandem repeats in DNA sequences of diverse taxonomic partitions of GenBank (known human and mouse genomes, and complete genomes of Caenorhabditis elegans and yeast). For coding DNA, we find that all 16 distribution funct
