Abstract excerpt
Some bacterial genomes are known to have low CpG dinucleotide frequencies. While their causes are not clearly understood, the frequency of CpG is suppressed significantly in the genome of Mycoplasma genitalium, but not in that of Mycoplasma pneumoniae. We compared orthologous gene pairs of the two closely related species to analyze CpG substitution patterns between these two genomes. We also divided genome...
