Abstract: Substitution occurs at different rates at different positions around a circular bacterial chromosome. Studies have found various patterns in these differences, but all such studies to date have relied on a few genomes each from a few well-known species. This study examines every completely assembled genome in GenBank, 15,225 specimens from 329 species, and finds that there is no consistent linear correlation between substitution rates or strength of selection and position along the Ori-Ter axis, although outliers are more common near Ter.
