GC skew is a metric used to analyze the relative abundance of guanine (G) and cytosine (C) nucleotides in a segment of DNA. It is calculated to identify regions of DNA that may differ in their GC content, which can have implications for understanding genomic features, such as replication origins, gene density, and overall genomic stability.
