Abstract excerpt

Codon usage and base composition in sequences from the A + T-rich genome of Rickettsia prowazekii, a member of the alpha Proteobacteria, have been investigated. Synonymous codon usage patterns are roughly similar among genes, even though the data set includes genes expected to be expressed at ver...
