Abstract excerpt
Comparative analyses of codon/amino acid usage in Leishmania major, Trypanosoma brucei and Trypanosoma cruzi reveal that gene expressivity and GC-bias play key roles in shaping the gene composition of all three parasites, and protein composition of L. major only. In T. brucei and T. cruzi, the major contributors to the variation in protein composition are hydropathy and/or aromaticity. Principle of Cost...
