Prokaryotic genes are often organized into operons, clusters of genes that are transcribed together. Because all genes in an operon must be transcribed in the same direction, this organization will be reflected in a tendency for nearby genes to have the same orientation. This tendency can be used to
This manuscript examines genome size in bacteria. The opposing capability of bacteria to alter their genome sizes and order of genes within limits yet remain somewhat constant provides a mechanism for diversity and evolution in bacterial populations. Bacteria may have evolved by increasing their gen
