متن کاملLateral transfer and GC content of bacterial resistance genes
Lateral genetic transfer (LGT) is one of the ways in which microorganisms such as bacteria could move and rearrange genetic materials from and into their genomes (Ragan and Beiko, 2009). The dissemination of antibiotic resistance genes between two microorganisms or between a microorganism and the environment could occur, for example, by conjugation, transduction, and transformation (Fondi and F...

Abstract The characterization of functional elements in genomes relies on the identification of the footprints of natural selection.

متن کاملSignificant positive correlation between the recombination rate and GC content in the human pseudoautosomal region.
This paper establishes that recombination drives the evolution of GC content in a significant way. Because the human P-arm pseudoautosomal region (PAR1) has been shown to have a high recombination rate, at least 20-fold more frequent than the genomic average of approximately 1 cM/Mb, this region provides an ideal system to study the role of recombination in the evolution of base composition. Ni...
متن کاملCorrelation Between GC-content and Palindromes in Randomly Generated Sequences and Viral Genomes
GC-content, the ratio of guanine and cytosine bases in an entire nucleotide sequence, and palindromic sequences are unique for every organism due to genomic evolution. The goals of our research was to establish a correlation between GC-content and palindromic densities in wild-type viral and randomly-generated genomes. Forty viral genomes were downloaded from GenBank and their GC-ratios and pal...
