Abstract excerpt
We report the results of a comprehensive study of the influence of gene expression on synonymous codons, amino acid composition, and intron presence and size in human protein-coding genes. First, in addition to a strong effect of isochores, we have detected the influence of transcription-associated mutational biases (TAMB) on gene composition. Genes expressed in different tissues show diverse degrees of TAMB,...
