A positive correlation between GC content and growth temperature in prokaryotes

A positive correlation between GC content and growth temperature in prokaryotes

Abstract Background GC pairs are generally more stable than AT pairs; GC-rich genomes were proposed to be more adapted to high temperatures than AT-rich genomes. Previous studies consistently showed positive correlations between growth temperature and the GC contents of structural RNA genes. However...
