Nucleotide diversity of the Chlamydomonas reinhardtii plastid genome: addressing the mutational-hazard hypothesis

BACKGROUND: The mutational-hazard hypothesis argues that the noncoding-DNA content of a genome is a consequence of the mutation rate (μ) and the effective number of genes per locus in the population (N(g)). The hypothesis predicts that genomes with a high N(g)μ will be more compact than those with a...
