GC-Content of Synonymous Codons Profoundly Influences Amino Acid Usage
Amino acids typically are encoded by multiple synonymous codons that are not used with the same frequency. Codon usage bias has drawn considerable attention, and several explanations have been offered, including variation in GC-content between species. Focusing on a simple parameter—combined GC prop...
