Codon usage frequency.

Open waubrey opened this issue 8 years ago • 0 comments

Redundancy in the genetic code means that it is possible to represent 64 different amino acids even though there are only 21 used. This has resulted in many codons being used for each amino acid. Some species prefer to use one codon over another which results in a species specific codon usage profile.

Can Goldilocks be used to analyse the frequency that a particular codon is used in a genome?
