Measuring genome divergence in bacteria: a case study using chlamydian data.

Abstract excerpt

We have studied the relative contribution of inversions, transpositions, deletions, and nucleotide substitutions to the evolution of Chlamydia trachomatis and Chlamydia pneumoniae. The minimal number of rearrangement events required for converting the gene order structure of one genome into that of the other was estimated to 59 +/- 6 events, including 13% inversions, 38% short inversions, and 49% transpositions....
