coding potential loss by their gene sequences for simulations with three mutational pressures

pressures
We also compared the accumulated number of damaged genes under different
pressures for the leading and lagging DNA strand genes (Fig. 7 and Fig. 8). Because
the leading strand genes are more than two times numerous than the lagging ones,
