VERY HIGH SYNCHRONY IN EVOLUTION OF ORGANELLES AND HOST GENOMES

摘要

A relations between the triplet frequency composition of mitochondria and chloro-plasts genomes, and the phylogeny of their bearers was studied. To do that, the clusters in 63-dimensional space were identified through K-means, and the clade composition of those clusters has been investigated. Very high regularity in genomes distribution among the clusters was found, with strong correlation to taxonomy. The strong synchrony in evolution manifests through this correlation: the proximity in frequency space was determined over the organelle genomes, while the proximity in taxonomy was determined morphologically.
