Abstract excerpt
Strand biases are widespread in bacterial genomes. In this review, we discuss 5 types of bias, including gene orientation, the number of open reading frames, nucleotide composition, substitution rate, and gene length, between leading and lagging strands during replication. For each type of strand bias, related studies were summarized and Clostridium acetobutylicum ATCC 824 was used as a representative example to...
