Codon usage changes and sequence dissimilarity between human and rat.

Abstract excerpt

This paper reports on the relationship between the number of silent differences and the codon usage changes in the lineages leading to human and rat. Examination of 102 pairs of homologous genes gives rise to four main conclusions: (1) We have previously demonstrated the existence of a codon usage change (called the minor shift) between human and rat; this was confirmed here with a larger sample. For genes with...
