Abstract excerpt
The occurrence of GC clusters in Saccharomyces spp. and related yeasts was examined to clarify their association with the stability of intact mitochondrial genome. Abundance of nonspecific or specific GC clusters in these species decreases with phylogenetic distance from S. cerevisiae. Their number but not the number of replication origins correlates with the ability to form respiration-deficient mutants induced...
