Abstract excerpt
The pattern and extent of DNA sequence variability at the rplX locus (encoding ribosomal protein L24) has been investigated in nine strains of Bacillus subtilis. Overall, there is a very low level of nucleotide diversity, even at silent sites, which is probably due to selection among synonymous codons. By analogy with Escherichia coli, there may also be some effect of the relative proximity of rplX to the...
