Are noncoding sequences of Rickettsia prowazekii remnants of "neutralized" genes?

Journal of molecular evolution - 1 Oct 2000

Holste D, Weiss O, Grosse I, Herzel H

Abstract excerpt

It has been hypothesized that a large fraction of 24% noncoding DNA in R. prowazekii consists of degraded genes. This hypothesis has been based on the relatively high G+C content of noncoding DNA. However, a comparison with other genomes also having a low overall G+C content shows that this argum...
