Abstract excerpt
With increases in the amounts of available DNA sequence data, it has become increasingly important to develop tools for comprehensive systematic analysis and comparison of species-specific characteristics of protein-coding sequences for a wide variety of genomes. In the present study, we used a novel neural-network algorithm, a self-organizing map (SOM), to efficiently and comprehensively analyze codon usage in...
