Abstract Background Analyses of DNA sequences from cultivated microorganisms have revealed genome-wide taxa-specific nucleotide compositional characteristics referred to as genome signatures. These signatures have far-reaching implications for understanding genome evolution and potential application in classification of metagenomic sequence fragments. However little is known regarding the distribution of genome signatures in natural microbial communities or the extent to which environmental
