Abstract excerpt
Gene DNAs of different organisms show a wide variation in their G+C content as much as 20% to 80%. This variation has been regarded as the result of the compliance of the genetic code with the base-composition-deflecting mutational pressure. To make possible a quantitative discussion of this genetic code's elasticity, we made a statistical study of the G+C frequency at the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd positions of codons:...
