Synonymous genes explore different evolutionary landscapes.

PLoS genetics - 1 Nov 2008

Cambray Guillaume, Mazel Didier

Abstract excerpt

The evolutionary potential of a gene is constrained not only by the amino acid sequence of its product, but by its DNA sequence as well. The topology of the genetic code is such that half of the amino acids exhibit synonymous codons that can reach different subsets of amino acids from each other...
