Abstract excerpt
Amino acids are utilized with different frequencies both among species and among genes within the same genome. Up to date, no study on the amino acid usage pattern of chicken has been performed. In the present study, we carried out a systematic examination of the amino acid usage in the chicken proteome. Our data indicated that the relative amino acid usage is positively correlated with the tRNA gene copy number....
