Daubin Vincent, Perrière Guy
Abstract excerpt
The heterogeneity of gene nucleotide content in prokaryotic genomes is commonly interpreted as the result of three main phenomena: (1) genes undergo different selection pressures both during and after translation (affecting codon and amino acid choice); (2) genes undergo different mutational pressure whether they are on the leading or lagging strand; and (3) genes may have different phylogenetic origins as a...
