Codon usage in the G+C-rich Streptomyces genome.
Gene - 1 Apr 1992
Wright F, Bibb M J
Abstract excerpt
The codon usage (CU) patterns of 64 genes from the Gram+ prokaryotic genus Streptomyces were analysed. Despite the extremely high overall G+C content of the Streptomyces genome (estimated at 0.74), individual genes varied in G+C content from 0.610 to 0.797, and had third codon position G+C contents (GC3s) that varied from 0.764 to 0.983. The variation in GC3s explains a significant proportion of the variation in...
