Nucleotide composition as a driving force in the evolution of retroviruses.

Journal of molecular evolution - 1 May 1994

Bronson E C, Anderson J N

Abstract excerpt

All complete retrovirus sequences in the GenEMBL database were examined with the goal of assessing possible relationships between the nucleotide composition of retroviral genomes, the amino acid composition of retroviral proteins, and evolutionary strategies used by retroviruses. The results demo...
