Reasons underlying certain tendencies in the data on the frequency of codon usage

Other Quantitative Biology 2009-08-11 v1 Genomics

Abstract

The tendencies described in this work were revealed in the course of examination of adenine and uracil distribution in the mRNA encoding sequence. The study also discusses the usage of codons occupied by the amino acid arginine in the table of the universal genetic code. All of the described tendencies are qualitative, so neither sophisticated methods nor cumbersome calculations are necessary to reveal and interpret them.
