Two aspects of DNA base composition: G+C content and translation-coupled deviation from intra-strand rule of A = T and G = C.

Abstract excerpt

The relative contribution of mutation and selection to the G+C content of DNA was analyzed in bacterial species having widely different G+C contents. The analysis used two methods that were developed previously. The first method was to plot the average G+C content of a set of nucleotides against the G+C content of the third codon position for each gene. This method was used to present the G+C distribution of the...
