Patterns of base composition within the genes of Drosophila melanogaster.

Journal of molecular evolution - 1 May 1998

Abstract excerpt

Base composition is not uniform across the genome of Drosophila melanogaster. Earlier analyses have suggested that there is variation in composition in D. melanogaster on both a large scale and a much smaller, within-gene, scale. Here we present analyses on 117 genes which have reliable intron/ex...
