Abstract excerpt
Vertebrate genomes are mosaics of megabase-size DNA segments with a fairly homogeneous base composition, called isochores. They are divided into five families characterized by different guanine-cytosine (GC) levels and linked to several functional and structural properties. The increased availability of fully sequenced genomes allows the investigation of isochores in several species, assessing their level of...
