Abstract: Abstract The contribution of gene duplications to the evolution of eukaryotic genomes is well studied. By contrast, studies of gene duplications in prokaryotes are scarce and generally limited to a handful of genes or careful… read more here.

DOI: 10.1186/s12864-019-5683-4
Abstract: BackgroundGene duplication underlies a significant proportion of gene functional diversity and genome complexity in both eukaryotes and prokaryotes. Although several reports in the literature described the duplication of specific genes in E. coli, a detailed… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0261748
Abstract: The frequency of G and C nucleotides in genomes varies from species to species, and sometimes even between different genes in the same genome. The monocot grasses have a bimodal distribution of genic GC content… read more here.
