Distinct co-evolution patterns of genes associated to DNA polymerase III DnaE and PolC

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Bacterial genomes displaying a strong bias between the leading and the lagging strand of DNA replication encode two DNA polymerases III, DnaE and PolC, rather than a single one. Replication is a highly unsymmetrical process, and the...
