Large scale comparative codon-pair context analysis unveils general rules that fine-tune evolution of mRNA primary structure.

BACKGROUND: Codon usage and codon-pair context are important gene primary structure features that influence mRNA decoding fidelity. In order to identify general rules that shape codon-pair context and minimize mRNA decoding error, we have carried out a large scale comparative codon-pair context anal...
