Abstract excerpt
This study compared orthologous gene pairs from Escherichia coli K12, E. coli O157:H7 EDL933, Salmonella typhimurium LT2, and Yersinia pestis CO92 using only homologs of equal length, and differing nucleotides were counted and mapped. The data showed very clearly how the rates of divergence change with intragenic and extragenic position. The rate of synonymous mutation is lowest near start codons and near stop...
