GC-Content evolution in bacterial genomes: the biased gene conversion hypothesis expands.
The characterization of functional elements in genomes relies on the identification of the footprints of natural selection. In this quest, taking into account neutral evolutionary processes such as mutation and genetic drift is crucial because these forces can generate patterns that may obscure or m...
