Compositional correlation between open reading frames with opposite transcriptional orientations in Escherichia coli.

Abstract excerpt

This paper analyzes correlations in base composition between pairs of neighboring genes in Escherichia coli. The G + C contents of nearby, but convergently or divergently transcribed, genes show weak but significant correlations, and this is attributed to compositional variation among genomic regions. The finding that the base composition varies among intergenic regions, depending upon whether the adjacent genes...
