Composition strand asymmetries in prokaryotic genomes: mutational bias and biased gene orientation.

Comptes rendus de l'Academie des sciences. Serie III, Sciences de la vie - 1 Mar 2001

Lopez P, Philippe H

Abstract excerpt

Most prokaryotic genomes display strand compositional asymmetries, but the reasons for these biases remain unclear. When the distribution of gene orientation is biased, as it often is, this may induce a bias in composition, as codon frequencies are not identical. We show here that this effect can...
