✦ Synopsis

It has been argued that the sum of usage probabilities for codons, belonging to quartets, that have as third nucleotide C or A, is independent of the biological species for vertebrates. The comparison between the theoretical correlation matrix derived from these sum rules and the experimentally computed matrix for 26 species shows a satisfactory agreement. The Shannon entropy, weakly depending on the biological species, gives further support. Suppression of codons containing the dinucleotides CG or AU is put in evidence.

The ratios of the codon usage in the quartets and sextets for the vertebrate series exhibit a correlated behaviour which fits w x naturally in the framework of the crystal basis model of the genetic code 1 . Moreover the observed universal behaviour of these suitably normalized ratios can be easily
