On the origins and variation of nucleotide skews of archaeal genomes [PDF]
Frontiers in MicrobiologyWe have used nucleotide skews as the proxy to understand the evolution of archaeal genomes. Our genome-wide studies using substantial datasets suggest that translational selection and the nature of the genetic code are universally conserved determinants ...

The Second Chromosome Promotes the Adaptation of the Genus Flammeovirga to Complex Environments
Microbiology Spectrum, 2021 Approximately 10% of bacterial strains contain more than one chromosome; however, in contrast to the primary chromosomes, the mechanisms underlying the formation of the second chromosomes and the significance of their existence remain unclear. Species of

Codon usage domains over bacterial chromosomes. [PDF]
PLoS Computational Biology, 2006 The geography of codon bias distributions over prokaryotic genomes and its impact upon chromosomal organization are analyzed. To this aim, we introduce a clustering method based on information theory, specifically designed to cluster genes according to ...

Why genes evolve faster on secondary chromosomes in bacteria. [PDF]
PLoS Computational Biology, 2010 In bacterial genomes composed of more than one chromosome, one replicon is typically larger, harbors more essential genes than the others, and is considered primary.

Organization of the bacterial chromosome [PDF]
Microbiological Reviews, 1990 Recent progress in studies on the bacterial chromosome is summarized. Although the greatest amount of information comes from studies on Escherichia coli, reports on studies of many other bacteria are also included. A compilation of the sizes of chromosomal DNAs as determined by pulsed-field electrophoresis is given, as well as a discussion of factors ...

The Role of Temperate Phages in Bacterial Pathogenicity
Microorganisms, 2023 Bacteriophages are viruses that infect bacteria and archaea and are classified as virulent or temperate phages based on their life cycles. A temperate phage, also known as a lysogenic phage, integrates its genomes into host bacterial chromosomes as a ...

A Markovian analysis of bacterial genome sequence constraints [PDF]
PeerJ, 2013 The arrangement of nucleotides within a bacterial chromosome is influenced by numerous factors. The degeneracy of the third codon within each reading frame allows some flexibility of nucleotide selection; however, the third nucleotide in the triplet of ...
