title: Relationship between asymmetrical gene distribution on DNA strands and phylogeny in cytoplasmic organelles and elements.
abstract: As well known, genes are distributed on either of double stranded DNA genomes. In order to know whether there is any rule for the gene distribution, we carried out a preliminary analysis of the gene including ORF distribution in several mitochondrial and chloroplast organelles.
