Gaussian-Distributed Codon Frequencies of Genomes

DNA encodes protein primary structure using 64 different codons to specify 20 different amino acids and a stop signal. Frequencies of codon occurrence when ordered in descending sequence provide a global characterization of a genome’s preference (bias) for using the different codons of the redundant...
