FASTER ADAPTATION. “In contrast, circular genomes with few higher order regulatory elements (represented by a diversity of genetic parasites present in intron-like genomic habitats) had more advantages in a high temperature environment and could adapt faster because of their ability to exchange selected phenotypes within and between protein-coding data-sets, as happens in horizontal gene transfer.” Many bacterial genomes are circular.
