Using an original computer program, we analysed 3 yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae genes that contain large
stereospecific anomalies (SA) in their promoter regions. Homologous genes for higher eukaryotic organisms contain large SA either in
the same promoter regions or in one of their introns, the involved dinucleotide and DNA helical repeat being often conserved. We
suppose that both promoter and enhancer-like sequences for these genes are evolutionary related and/or are regulated by related
proteins.
Key words: stereospecific anomalies, phylogenetic analysis, evolution
