Operon-based approach for the inference of rRNA and tRNA evolutionary histories in bacteria

Operon-based approach for the inference of rRNA and tRNA evolutionary histories in bacteria

Abstract Background In bacterial genomes, rRNA and tRNA genes are often organized into operons, i.e. segments of closely located genes that share a single promoter and are transcribed as a single unit. Analyzing how these genes and operons evolve can help us understand what are the most common evolu...
