Why Is the UAG (Amber) Stop Codon Almost Absent in Highly Expressed Bacterial Genes?
The genome hypothesis postulates that genes in a genome tend to conform to their species’ usage of the codon catalog and the GC content of the DNA. Thus, codon frequencies differ across organisms, including the three termination codons in the standard genetic code. Here, we analyze the frequencies o...
