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 very different levels, indicating that translational selection has been ineffective in this species. However, multivariate...
