Ongoing evolution of strand composition in bacterial genomes.

Molecular biology and evolution - 1 Sept 2001

Rocha E P, Danchin A

Abstract excerpt

We tried to identify the substitutions involved in the establishment of replication strand bias, which has been recognized as an important evolutionary factor in the evolution of bacterial genomes. First, we analyzed the composition asymmetry of 28 complete bacterial genomes and used it to test the possibility that asymmetric deamination of cytosine might be at the origin of the bias. The model showed significant...
