Amelioration of bacterial genomes: rates of change and exchange.

Abstract excerpt

Although bacterial species display wide variation in their overall GC contents, the genes within a particular species' genome are relatively similar in base composition. As a result, sequences that are novel to a bacterial genome-i.e., DNA introduced through recent horizontal transfer-often bear unusual sequence characteristics and can be distinguished from ancestral DNA. At the time of introgression,...
