Hello 2nelly,

could you please explain what AT content is AT rich for you? How many bases should the region be long at least?

I don t know exactly ,but something analogous to CG rich content.

i am wondering if there is a source like the UCSC that i can find this information.

I don t know exactly

That's not good ... Let's try it the other way round to find a better definition. Why do you need those regions?

ARS in yeast is related to AT rich areas.

Thence, I am wondering if there is any correlation of AT rich areas with human Origins of replication.

This is not clear yet.

You may find what you are looking for with adding the keyword "isochores". For example:

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4662427/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1457033/

Bu this is a "macro" definition ("[...] long (>200 kb) DNA sequences that are fairly homogeneous in base composition[...]"). You could look at this metric at higher resolution.

Sounds promising! But i believe that it requires more effort on this direction to clearly identify those regions. Thanks!
