Homopeptide and homocodon levels across fungi are coupled to GC/AT-bias and intrinsic disorder, with unique behaviours for some amino acids

Abstract Homopeptides (runs of one amino-acid type) are evolutionarily important since they are prone to expand/contract during DNA replication, recombination and repair. To gain insight into the genomic/proteomic traits driving their variation, we analyzed how homopeptides and homocodons (which are...
