A universal trend of reduced mRNA stability near the translation-initiation site in prokaryotes and eukaryotes.
Recent studies have suggested that the thermodynamic stability of mRNA secondary structure near the start codon can regulate translation efficiency in Escherichia coli, and that translation is more efficient the less stable the secondary structure. We survey the complete genomes of 340 species for s...
