[PDF][PDF] Analysis of codon usage

JF Peden - 2000 - Citeseer
The genetic code uses 64 codons to represent the 20 standard amino acids and the
translation termination signal. Each codon is recognised by a subset of a cell's transfer …

Compositional biases of bacterial genomes and evolutionary implications

S Karlin, J Mrazek, AM Campbell - Journal of bacteriology, 1997 - Am Soc Microbiol
We compare and contrast genome-wide compositional biases and distributions of short
oligonucleotides across 15 diverse prokaryotes that have substantial genomic sequence …

Genomic signature: characterization and classification of species assessed by chaos game representation of sequences.

PJ Deschavanne, A Giron, J Vilain… - … biology and evolution, 1999 - academic.oup.com
We explored DNA structures of genomes by means of a new tool derived from the" chaotic
dynamical systems" theory (the so-called chaos game representation [CGR]), which allows …

The identity of the base following the stop codon determines the efficiency of in vivo translational termination in Escherichia coli.

ES Poole, CM Brown, WP Tate - The EMBO journal, 1995 - embopress.org
A statistical analysis of> 2000 Escherichia coli genes suggested that the base following the
translational stop codon might be an important feature of the signal for termination. The …

Order and correlations in genomic DNA sequences. The spectral approach

VV Lobzin, VR Chechetkin - Physics-Uspekhi, 2000 - iopscience.iop.org
The structural analysis of genomic DNA sequences is discussed in the framework of the
spectral approach, which is sufficiently universal due to the reciprocal correspondence and …

Chance and statistical significance in protein and DNA sequence analysis

S Karlin, V Brendel - Science, 1992 - science.org
Statistical approaches help in the determination of significant configurations in protein and

Success of alignment-free oligonucleotide (k-mer) analysis confirms relative importance of genomes not genes in speciation and phylogeny

DR Forsdyke - Biological Journal of the Linnean Society, 2019 - academic.oup.com
The utility of DNA sequence substrings (k-mers) in alignment-free phylogenetic
classification, including that of bacteria and viruses, is increasingly recognized. However, its …

Statistical analyses of counts and distributions of restriction sites in DNA sequences

S Karlin, C Burge, AM Campbell - Nucleic acids research, 1992 - academic.oup.com
Counts and spacings of all 4-and 6-bp palindromes In DNA sequences from a broad range
of organisms were investigated. Both 4-and 6-bp average palindrome counts were …

Asymmetries generated by transcription-coupled repair in enterobacterial genes

MP Francino, L Chao, MA Riley, H Ochman - Science, 1996 - science.org
Although certain replication errors occur at different frequencies on each of the
complementary strands of DNA, it remains unclear whether this bias is prevalent enough …
