Abstract excerpt
We conducted a genome-wide analysis of variations in guanine plus cytosine (G+C) content at the third codon position at silent substitution sites of orthologous human and mouse protein-coding nucleotide sequences. Alignments of 3776 human protein-coding DNA sequences with mouse orthologs having >50 synonymous codons were analyzed, and nucleotide substitutions were counted by comparing sequences in the alignments...
