Pair-wise genome comparisons offer new sources of information about
the patterns and processes that influence genomic designs. Replication-dependent
rearrangements, as indicated by the symmetric gene organization pattern in
the genomes of Chlamydia pneumoniae and Chlamydia trachomatis,
may provide a missing link in the reconstruction of historical events from
modern genomes.
