Abstract excerpt
The proportion of synonymous nucleotide differences per synonymous site (p(S)) and the proportion of nonsynonymous differences per nonsynonymous site (p(N)) were computed at 1,993,217 individual codons in 4,133 protein-coding genes between the two yeast species Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Saccharomyces paradoxus. When the modified Nei-Gojobori method was used, significantly more codons with p(N) > p(S) were...
