Differential selection and mutation between dsDNA and ssDNA phages shape the evolution of their genomic AT percentage

BACKGROUND: Bacterial genomes differ dramatically in AT%. We have developed a model to show that the genomic AT% in rapidly replicating bacterial species can be used as an index of the availability of nucleotides A and T for DNA replication in cellular medium. This index is then used to (1) study th...
