Background: The genomes of prokaryotes and lower eukaryotes display a very strong 11 bp periodic bias in the distribution of their nucleotides. This bias is present throughout a g...
Background: The integration of genomic information with quantitative experimental data is a key component of systems biology. An increasing number of microbial genomes are being s...
Background: Selenocysteine and pyrrolysine are the 21st and 22nd amino acids, which are genetically encoded by stop codons. Since a number of microbial genomes have been completel...
