Adaptive evolution of chloroplast genome structure inferred using a parametric bootstrap approach

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Genome rearrangements influence gene order and configuration of gene clusters in all genomes. Most land plant chloroplast DNAs (cpDNAs) share a highly conserved gene content and with notable exceptions, a largely co-linear gene order...
