Synonymous codon usage bias dependent on local nucleotide context in the class Deinococci.

Abstract excerpt

To study the evolution of mutation biased synonymous codon usage, we examined nucleotide co-occurrence patterns in the Deinococcus radiodurans, D. geothermalis, and Thermus thermophilus genomes for nucleotide replacement dependent on the surrounding nucleotide context. Nucleotides on the third codon site were found to be strongly correlated with nucleotide sites at most six nucleotides away in all three species,...
