Abstract excerpt
The analysis of coding sequences reveals nonrandomness in the context of both sense and stop codons. Part of this is related to nucleotide doublet preference, seen also in non-coding sequences and thought to arise from the dependence of mutational events on surrounding sequence. Another nonrandom context element, relating the wobble nucleotides of successive codons, is observed even when doublet preference, codon...
