The volatility analysis of Plotkin et al. 1 rests on the observation that synonymous codons often differ in the number of mutations that take them to different amino acids. For instance, CGA and AGA ...

Analysis of genome-wide codon bias shows that only two parameters effectively differentiate the genome-wide codon bias of 100 eubacterial and archaeal organisms. The first parameter correlates with ...

It is well known that codon bias and gene expression are correlated. The established explanation is that mRNAs with a high codon adaptation index (CAI) — that is, with a high number of 'preferred' ...
