Genome-wide analysis on the maize genome reveals weak selection on synonymous mutations

Abstract Background Synonymous mutations are able to change the tAI (tRNA adaptation index) of a codon and consequently affect the local translation rate. Intuitively, one may hypothesize that those synonymous mutations which increase the tAI values are favored by natural selection. Results We use t...
