Indeed, a highly significant, 4.5-fold enrichment was observed for E. coli gene pairs, and an even more pronounced 8.1-fold enrichment for H. volcanii gene pairs.

Unidirectional gene pairs in archaea and bacteria require overlaps or very short intergenic distances for translational coupling via termination-reinitiation and often encode subunits of heteromeric complexes.
