Warm-blooded vertebrates show large-scale variation in G + C content along their chromosomes, a pattern which appears to be largely absent from cold-blooded vertebrates. However, compositional variation in poikilotherms has generally been studied by ultracentrifugation rather than sequence analysis. In this paper, we investigate the compositional properties of coding sequences from a broad range of vertebrate...
