The surprising negative correlation of gene length and optimal codon use - disentangling translational selection from GC-biased gene conversion in yeast
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Surprisingly, in several multi-cellular eukaryotes optimal codon use correlates negatively with gene length. This contrasts with the expectation under selection for translational accuracy. While suggested explanations focus on variat...
