Translational Selection Is Ubiquitous in Prokaryotes
Codon usage bias in prokaryotic genomes is largely a consequence of background substitution patterns in DNA, but highly expressed genes may show a preference towards codons that...
The codon adaptation index-a measure of directional synonymous codon usage bias, and its potential applications
A simple, effective measure of synonymous codon usage bias, the Codon Adaptation Index, is detailed. The index uses a reference set of highly expressed genes from a species to a...
GeneMarkS: a self-training method for prediction of gene starts in microbial genomes. Implications for finding sequence motifs in regulatory regions
Improving the accuracy of prediction of gene starts is one of a few remaining open problems in computer prediction of prokaryotic genes. Its difficulty is caused by the absence ...
Nucleotide sequence and transcriptional mapping of the yeast<i>pet56-his3-dedl</i>gene region
Genes of the baker's yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae are densely clustered on 16 linear chromosomes. Here, I characterize a 1.8 kb region of chromosome XV containing the entire s...
The nucleotide sequences of the rbsD, rbsA, and rbsC genes of Escherichia coli K12.
The nucleotide sequences of rbsD, rbsA, and rbsC have been determined. These genes encode components of the high affinity ribose transport system in Escherichia coli, and togeth...
