More Codon Usage Bias
χ measure. In statistics, the χ statstic computes how different the distribution of values is from a uniform distribution. Let d = c1 . . . cN be a DNA string in nucleotide alphabet, and let L be the total number of codons in d that are not Methinine or Tryptophan (the number does include the stop codons though). Let a be a k-degenerate amino acid, and let La be the total number of codons codin...
متن کاملCodon usage and gene expression.
The hypothesis that codon usage regulates gene expression at the level of translation is tested. Codon usage of Escherichia coli and phage lambda is compared by correspondence analysis, and the basis of this hypothesis is examined by connecting codon and tRNA distributions to polypeptide elongation kinetics. Both approaches indicate that if codon usage was random tRNA limitation would only affe...
متن کاملSynonymous codon usage in bacteria.
In most bacteria, synonymous codons are not used with equal frequencies. Different factors have been proposed to contribute to codon usage preference, including translational selection, GC composition, strand-specific mutational bias, amino acid conservation, protein hydropathy, transcriptional selection and even RNA stability. The review discusses these factors and their contribution to bias i...
متن کاملCodon usage in Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
We have generated a codon usage table for Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Codon usage in P. aeruginosa is extremely biased. In contrast to E. coli and yeast, P. aeruginosa preferentially uses those codons within a synonymous codon group with the strongest predicted codon-anticodon interaction. We were unable to correlate a particular codon usage pattern with predicted levels of mRNA expressivity. The c...
