Same-strand overlapping genes in bacteria: compositional determinants of phase bias
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Same-strand overlapping genes may occur in frameshifts of one (phase 1) or two nucleotides (phase 2). In previous studies of bacterial genomes, long phase-1 overlaps were found to be more numerous than long phase-2 overlaps. This bia...
