We report the analysis of the biases of CpG, TpG, and CpA of all the DNA sequences data from the Trematode Schistosoma mansoni. Our resuits show CpG avoidance whereas TpG and CpA frequencies are over the expected values. These characteristics are similar to the biases displayed by methylated genomes
We have investigated the genome organization in the flatworm Schistosoma mansoni. First, we analyzed the compositional distributions of the three codon positions. Second, we investigated the correlations that exist between (1) the GC levels of exons against flanking regions, (2) the GC levels of thi
Codon usage was analysed for 14 streptococcal genes or significant open reading frames and found to be different from that in Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis. In particular, the preferred use of WWT codons over WWC was inconsistent with the rule of optimal codon-anticodon interaction energy.
Synonymous codon usage in genes from the ascomycete (filamentous) fungus Aspergillus nidulans has been investigated. A total of 45 gene sequences has been analysed. Multivariate statistical analysis has been used to identify a single major trend among genes. At one end of this trend are lowly expres
