Abstract excerpt
This report shows that isochore-like structures can be found not only in warm-blooded animals, some reptiles, fishes and yeast, but also in certain archaeal species. In perfectly shaped isochore-like structures (in "protoisochores") from Sulfolobus acidocaldarius and Thermofilum pendens genomes the difference in 3GC levels between genes from different "protoisochores" is about 30%. In these archaeal species...
