We have analysed some aspects of the primary structure of the chromosome of the prokaryote Haemophilus influenzae and of the eukaryote Saccharomyces cerevisiae that share the same G + C content. In particular, we have investigated genomic patchiness over the gene size level (10 Kb) and that patchiness due to long homogenous tracts. Long polypurine and polypyrmidine tracts that are largely over-represented in S. cerevisiae chromosomes and under-represented in H. influenzae, are responsible for a large fraction of long correlation signals. Generating mechanisms of long homogenous tracts are DNA replication slippage and duplication events that appear to be linked processes driving chromosome primary structure evolution.
