Investigating the relationship between genome structure, composition, and ecology in prokaryotes.

Molecular biology and evolution - 1 Jun 2002

Liò Pietro

Abstract excerpt

Our thesis is that the DNA composition and structure of genomes are selected in part by mutation bias (GC pressure) and in part by ecology. To illustrate this point, we compare and contrast the oligonucleotide composition and the mosaic structure in 36 complete genomes and in 27 long genomic sequences from archaea and eubacteria. We report the following findings (1) High-GC-content genomes show a large...
