Abstract excerpt
Many studies have explored the mechanisms involved in relative amino acid usage (RAAU) in a variety of prokaryotes and eukaryotes. A strong bias was observed in highly expressed genes (HEGs) of endosymbiotic bacteria. By means of correspondence analysis, we studied the major trends affecting internal variability of RAAU in Mollicutes. The principal trend is related to the usage of smaller, less aromatic, and...
