We have analyzed the correlation that exists between the GC levels of third and first or
second codon position for about 1400 human coding sequences. The linear relationship that …

The present work represents the first attempt to study in greater detail previously proposed
compositional correlations in genomes, based on a body of additional data relating to gene …

The sequences of the human genome compiled in DNA databases are now about 10
megabase pairs (Mb), and thus the size of the sequences is several times the average size …

In 1980 and 1981, Grantham and his colleague (1, 2) reported the codon usages in a total of
161 protein genes in this journal, and in 1986, 1988 and 1989, we reported those in all …

The compositional distributions of coding sequences and DNA molecules (in the 50-100-kb
range) are remarkably narrower in murids (rat and mouse) compared to humans (as well as …

We have investigated the relationship between the G+ C content of silent (synonymous)
sites in codons and the amino acid composition of encoded proteins for approximately 1,600 …

Nucleic Acids Research was calculated by adding for each codon (Table 2). The number of
genes summed for each organisms is given in the row designated as No. GENES, and the …

Frequencies for each of the 61 amino acid codes have been determined in every published
mRNA sequence of 50 or more codons. The frequencies are shown for each kind of genome …

The GC levels of codon third positions from 49 genomes coveering a wide phylogenetic
range are linearly correlated with the GC levels of the corresponding genomes. Three …

The genetic code uses 64 codons to represent the 20 standard amino acids and the
translation termination signal. Each codon is recognised by a subset of a cell's transfer …
