Editorial on Bacterial Genome Architecture

Bacterial genomes are typically smaller and have less variation in size between organisms when compared to eukaryotic genomes. In two essential respects, bacteria's genome architecture differs from that of eukaryotes, firstly, the number of functional genes in a genome is inversely proportional to the size of the genome in bacteria, and those genes are organised into operons.
