This bias is also reflected in composition and distribution of genes along the chromosome. Several phenomena connected with the replication of the chromosome are responsible for such polarization, especially mutational pressure, repair mechanisms and recombinations, and also selection pressure. All these phenomena are not indifferent for gene evolution and their rearrangements which are strictly connected with the organization of bacterial chromosome.}, type={Text}, title={Influence of replication on organization and evolution of bacterial genomes}, URL={http://www.rcin.org.pl/Content/91827/PDF/POZN271_118312_biotechnologia-2005-no3-kowalczuk.pdf}, keywords={biotechnology}, }
