Lagging strand encoding promotes adaptive evolution

C. Merrikh, L. Harris, S. Mangiameli, H. Merrikh

The paper investigates whether lagging strand genes evolve faster due to replication-transcription conflicts and finds convergent mutations are enriched in these genes, suggesting adaptive evolution.

Response to No support for the adaptive hypothesis of lagging-9 strand encoding in bacterial genomes

H. Merrikh, C. Merrikh

The paper responds to criticism of their adaptive hypothesis of lagging-strand gene orientation by providing empirical evidence supporting their original findings and introducing an improved GC skew method.
