Abstract excerpt
The factors governing codon and amino acid usages in the predicted protein-coding sequences of Tropheryma whipplei TW08/27 and Twist genomes have been analyzed. Multivariate analysis identifies the replicational-transcriptional selection coupled with DNA strand-specific asymmetric mutational bias as a major driving force behind the significant interstrand variations in synonymous codon usage patterns in T....
