Abstract excerpt
The usage of alternative synonymous codons in the apicomplexan Cryptosporidium parvum has been investigated. A data set of 54 genes was analysed. Overall, A- and U-ending codons predominate, as expected in an A+T-rich genome. Two trends of codon usage variation among genes were identified using correspondence analysis. The primary trend is in the extent of usage of a subset of presumably translationally optimal...
