  1. *TSDs of length 15 nucleotides without mismatches were classified according to their A content. †Monte Carlo simulation was used to generate random 15-nucleotide sequences representative of the nucleotide population of the human genome. Only 10% of these randomly generated sequences were equal to or greater than the average A content of the TSDs.
