Molecular considerations in the evolution of bacterial genes
Molecular considerations in the evolution of bacterial genes is a scholarly work, published in 1991 in ''Journal of Molecular Evolution''. The main subjects of the publication include GC-content, evolutionary biology, open reading frame, phylogenetics, gene, purifying selection, ribosome, bacterial evolution, biology, phylogenetic tree, Nonsynonymous substitution, Synonymous substitution, codon usage bias, molecular evolution, genetics, silent mutation, and RNA sequencing. Although both loci accumulate synonymous substitutions at reduced rates due to codon usage bias, portions of the gap and ompA reading frames show significant deviation in synonymous substitution rates not attributable to local codon bias.
