Comparative study of overlapping genes in the genomes of Mycoplasma genitalium and Mycoplasma pneumoniae
1 Apr 1999
Abstract excerpt
Overlapping genes are defined, in this paper, as a pair of adjacent genes whose coding regions are partly overlapping. We systematically analyzed all overlapping genes in the genomes of two closely related species: Mycoplasma genitalium and Mycoplasma pneumoniae. Careful comparisons were made for homologous genes that are overlapped in one species but not in the other. This comparative analysis allows us to...
