Genome Structure of Organelles Strongly Relates to Taxonomy of Bearers

We studied the relations between the triplet frequency dictionaries of organelle genome, and the phylogeny of their bearers. The clusters in 63-dimensional space were identified through K-means, and the clade composition of those clusters has been investigated. Very high regularity in genomes distribution among the clusters was found, in terms of taxonomy. The strong synchrony in evolution of nuclear and organelle genomes manifests through this correlation: the proximity in frequency space was determined over the organelle genomes, while the proximity in taxonomy was determined morphologically. Similar effect is also found in the ensembles of other (say, yeast) genomes.
