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 conten...
