Abstract excerpt
We study the equilibrium in the use of synonymous codons by eukaryotic organisms and find five equations involving substitution rates that we believe embody the important implications of equilibrium for the process of silent substitution. We then combine these five equations with additional criteria to determine sets of substitution rates applicable to eukaryotic organisms. One method employs the equilibrium...
