Abstract excerpt
Mitochondrial genomes typically show genome-wide patterns of synonymous codon usage bias. In animals and land plants, mutation appears more dominant than selection in shaping this bias, while in green algae the relative importance of these factors is not well studied. Based on our analysis of mitochondrial DNA sequence from the green algae Mesostigma viride (NIES-296) and Chlamydomonas reinhardtii (CC-277) and a...
