High guanine-cytosine content is not an adaptation to high temperature: a comparative analysis amongst prokaryotes.

Proceedings. Biological sciences - 7 Mar 2001

Hurst L D, Merchant A R

Abstract excerpt

The causes of the variation between genomes in their guanine (G) and cytosine (C) content is one of the central issues in evolutionary genomics. The thermal adaptation hypothesis conjectures that, as G:C pairs in DNA are more thermally stable than adenonine:thymine pairs, high GC content may he a...
