A tight‐binding model is used to investigate the relation between the electric transport properties and the sequences of protein‐coding regions of complete genomes. The sequence‐dependent transmission coefficient for some particular propagation length w G is closely related to the positions of genes on DNA. w G is the “characteristic migration length” for each species.
