Codon usage in plastid genes is correlated with context, position within the gene, and amino acid content.

Journal of molecular evolution - 1 Feb 2000

Morton B R, So B G

Abstract excerpt

Highly expressed plastid genes display codon adaptation, which is defined as a bias toward a set of codons which are complementary to abundant tRNAs. This type of adaptation is similar to what is observed in highly expressed Escherichia coli genes and is probably the result of selection to increase translation efficiency. In the current work, the codon adaptation of plastid genes is studied with regard to three...
