Evidence of multifaceted functions of codon usage in translation within the model beetle <i>Tribolium castaneum</i>
2019-09-16
Abstract excerpt
Synonymous codon use is non-random. Codons most used in highly transcribed genes, often called optimal codons, typically have high gene counts of matching tRNA genes (tRNA abundance) and promote accurate and/or efficient translation. Non-optimal codons, those least used in highly expressed genes, may also affect translation. In multicellular organisms, codon optimality may vary among tissues. At present however, c...
