R: GC content and temperature in bacteria

gcT {seqinr} | R Documentation

## GC content and temperature in bacteria

### Description

This data set was used in Galtier and Lobry (1997) to study the relationship between the optimal growth temperature of bacteria and their G+C content at the genomic level and locally were selection is active to maintain secondary structures in the stems of RNAs.

### Format

`gcT` is a list containing the 9 following components:

species

  is a data frame containing the optimal growth temperature and genomic G+C content for 772 bacterial species. Detailled explanations for this table and the following are available in the `README` component.

genus

  is a data frame containing the optimal growth temperature and genomic G+C content for 224 bacterial genus.

details

  is a data frame with more information, see `README`.

gc16S

  is a data frame containing the optimal growth temperature and stems G+C content for 16S RNA from 165 bacterial genus.

gctRNA

  is a data frame containing the optimal growth temperature and stems G+C content for tRNA from 51 bacterial genus.

gc23S

  is a data frame containing the optimal growth temperature and stems G+C content for 23S RNA from 38 bacterial genus.

gc5S

  is a data frame containing the optimal growth temperature and stems G+C content for 5S RNA from 71 bacterial genus.

README

  is the original README file from `ftp://biom3.univ-lyon1.fr/pub/datasets/JME97/` last updated 13-MAY-2002.

importgcT

  is the R script used to import data.
