Both selective and neutral processes drive GC content evolution in the human genome
BACKGROUND: Mammalian genomes consist of regions differing in GC content, referred to as isochores or GC-content domains. The scientific debate is still open as to whether such compositional heterogeneity is a selected or neutral trait. RESULTS: Here we analyze SNP allele frequencies, retrotransposo...
