Relationship between asymmetrical gene distribution on DNA strands and phylogeny in cytoplasmic organelles and elements.
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.
