The effect of expression levels on codon usage in Plasmodium falciparum.

Parasitology - 1 Mar 2004

Peixoto L, Fernández V, Musto H

Abstract excerpt

The usage of alternative synonymous codons in the completely sequenced, extremely A+T-rich parasite Plasmodium falciparum was studied. Confirming previous studies obtained with less than 3% of the total genes recently described, we found that A- and U-ending triplets predominate but translational selection increases the frequency of a subset of codons in highly expressed genes. However, some new results come from...
