Recombination drives the evolution of GC-content in the human genome.

Molecular biology and evolution - 1 Jun 2004

Meunier Julien, Duret Laurent

Abstract excerpt

Unraveling the evolutionary forces responsible for variations of neutral substitution patterns among taxa or along genomes is a major issue in the identification of functional sequence features. Mammalian genomes show large-scale regional variations of GC-content (the isochores), but the substitution processes at the origin of this structure are poorly understood. We have analyzed the pattern of neutral...
