We perform a statistical study of the distances between successiveoccurrencies of a given dinucleotide in the DNA sequence for a number oforganisms of different complexity. Our analysis highlights peculiar features ofthe dinucleotide CG distribution in mammalian DNA, pointing towards aconnection with the role of such dinucleotide in DNA methylation. While the CGdistributions of mammals exhibit exponential tails with comparable parameters,the picture for the other organisms studied (e.g., fish, insects, bacteria andviruses) is more heterogeneous, possibly because in these organisms DNAmethylation has different functional roles. Our analysis suggests that thedistribution of the distances between dinucleotides CG provides useful insightsin characterizing and classifying organisms in terms of methylationfunctionalities.
