Evolution and Grammaticalization- links

I thought it might be useful to provide some URLs of papers discussing some of the points I cited- here is a first batch.

Long-Range Periodic Patterns in Microbial Genomes Indicate Significant Multi-Scale Chromosomal Organization
http://compbiol.plosjournals.org/perlserv/?request=get-document&doi=10.1371/journal.pcbi.0020002

The Fragile Breakage versus Random Breakage Models of Chromosome Evolution
http://compbiol.plosjournals.org/perlserv/?request=get-document&doi=10.1371/journal.pcbi.0020014

DNA Sequences Shaped by Selection for Stability
http://genetics.plosjournals.org/perlserv/?request=get-document&doi=10.1371/journal.pgen.0020022

I've read about these things elsewhere as well, but these are public access. Not 'random house' ;-)
