Selection for energy efficiency drives strand-biased gene distribution in prokaryotes

Lagging-strand genes accumulate more deleterious mutations. Genes are thus preferably located on the leading strand, an observation known as strand-biased gene distribution (SGD). Despite of this mechanistic understanding, a satisfactory quantitative model is still lacking. Replication-transcription...
