Strand asymmetry in nucleotide composition is a remarkable feature of animal mitochondrial
genomes. Understanding the mutation processes that shape strand asymmetry is essential …

The availability of hundreds of complete bacterial genomes has created new challenges and
simultaneously opportunities for bioinformatics. In the area of statistical analysis of genomic …

Compositional asymmetries are pervasive in DNA sequences. They are the result of the
asymmetric interactions between DNA and cellular mechanisms such as replication and …

DNA base composition asymmetry is at the basis of numerous in silico methods for the
detection of the origin and terminus of replication in prokaryotes. However, most of these …

Simple Summary Parrotfishes are among the most colorful and diverse inhabitants of the
coral reefs and sea grass beds and are ecologically important in these habitats. Here, we …

Chargaff's second parity rule (PR2) states that complementary nucleotides are met with
almost equal frequencies in single stranded DNA. This is indeed the case for all bacterial …

Over twenty years ago Galtier and Lobry published a manuscript entitled “Relationships
between Genomic G+ C Content, RNA Secondary Structure, and Optimal Growth …

A novel bacteriophage infecting Escherichia coli was isolated during a large-scale screen
for bacteriophages that may be used for therapy of mastitis in cattle. The 77,554-bp genome …

Distances from heavy and light strand replication origins determine duration mitochondrial
DNA remains singlestranded during replication. Hydrolytic deaminations from A-> G and C-> …

Sinorhodeus microlepis (S. microlepis) is recently described as a new species and
