Abstract excerpt
Synonymous codon choices vary considerably among Schistosoma mansoni genes. Principal components analysis detects a single major trend among genes, which highly correlates with GC content in third codon positions and exons, but does not discriminate among putatively highly and lowly expressed genes. The effective number of codons used in each gene, and its distribution when plotted against GC3, suggests that...
