Mutation Bias is the Driving Force of Codon Usage in the Gallus gallus genome

Synonymous codons are used with different frequencies both among species and among genes within the same genome and are controlled by neutral processes (such as mutation and drift) as well as by selection. Up to now, a systematic examination of the codon usage for the chicken genome has not been per...
