Abstract excerpt
We present theoretical considerations that suggest that synonymous-codon usage might be expected to be close to an equilibrium distribution given a very homogeneous process of silent substitution. By homogeneous we mean that substitution depends only on the two bases involved, so that 12 base-sub...
