Abstract

The distribution of chloroplast genomes in 63-dimensional space of triplet frequencies was studied, in connection to the taxonomy correlation to the clusters observed in the distribution. That latter was developed through K-means implementation, for the number of classes varying from 2 to 8. The clade composition of those clusters has been analyzed. Unexpectedly high regularity in clades occupation of different clusters has been found thus proving very high synchrony in evolution of two physically independent genetic entities (chloroplasts vs. nuclear genomes): the proximity in frequency space was determined over the organelle genomes, while the proximity in taxonomy was determined morphologically.
