Evidence of selection upon genomic GC-content in bacteria.

PLoS genetics - 9 Sept 2010

Hildebrand Falk, Meyer Axel, Eyre-Walker Adam

Abstract excerpt

The genomic GC-content of bacteria varies dramatically, from less than 20% to more than 70%. This variation is generally ascribed to differences in the pattern of mutation between bacteria. Here we test this hypothesis by examining patterns of synonymous polymorphism using datasets from 149 bacte...
