Theoretical Biology and Medical Modelling | Full text | Three subsets of sequence complexity and their relevance to biopolymeric information: "Nucleic acid instructions reside in linear, digital, resortable, and unidirectionally read sequences [46-49]. Replication is sufficiently mutable for evolution, yet conserved, competent, and repairable for heritability [50]. An exception to the unidirectionality of reading is that DNA can occasionally be read from both directions simultaneously. For example, the circular bacterial chromosome can be replicated in both directions at the same time [51] But the basic principle of unidirectionality of the linear digital flow of information nonetheless remains intact."
