Abstract
DNA Methylation - From Genomics to Technology, 2012, pp 55-68 We describe the distribution of Guanine and Cytosine (GC) content in the
third codon position (GC3) distributions in different species, analyze
evolutionary trends and discuss differences between genes and organisms with
distinct GC3 levels. We scrutinize previously published theoretical frameworks
and construct a unified view of GC3 biology in eukaryotes and prokaryotes.
