    • The Anolis Lizard Genome: An Amniote Genome without Isochores 

      Fujita, Matthew; Edwards, Scott V.; Ponting, Chris P. (Oxford University Press (OUP), 2011)
      Isochores are large regions of relatively homogeneous nucleotide composition and are present in the genomes of all mammals and birds that have been sequenced to date. The newly sequenced genome of Anolis carolinensis ...
