COMMENTS
The following references include some on the "prime race" question that are not necessarily related to this particular sequence. - N. J. A. Sloane, May 22 2006
Starting from a(12502) = A051025(27556) = 9103362505801, the sequence includes the 8th sign-changing zone predicted by C. Bays et al. The sequence with the first 8 sign-changing zones contains 194367 terms (see a-file) with a(194367) = 9543313015387 as its last term. - Sergei D. Shchebetov, Oct 13 2017
