Abstract
⺠We propose a simple stochastic model to construct primitive DNA sequences. ⺠The model provide an explanation for Chargaff's second parity rule in primitive DNA sequences. ⺠The model is also used to predict a novel type of strand symmetry in primitive DNA sequences. ⺠We extend the results for bacterial DNA sequences and compare distributional properties intrinsic to the model to statistical estimates from 1049 bacterial genomes. ⺠We find out statistical evidences that the novel type of strand symmetry holds for bacterial DNA sequences.
