摘要
Two genome sequences of Escherichia coli K-12 substrains, one partial W3110 and one complete MG1655, have been determined by Japanese and American genome projects, respectively. In order to estimate the rate of nucleotide changes, we directly compared 2 Mb of the nucleotide sequences from these closely-related E, coli substrains, Given that the two substrains separated about 40 years ago, the rate of nucleotide changes mas estimated to be less than 10(-7) per site per year, This rate was supported by a further comparison between partial genome sequences of E, coli and Shigella flexneri.
