Preferred Label : Codon Usage;
MeSH definition : The frequency of occurrence, in a specific organism's DNA sequence, of one of several
potential synonymous codons that code for a particular amino acid. Frequently, there
is a nonrandom pattern (bias) in the usage of a particular codon or codons over other
synonymous codons.;
Définition CISMeF : Codon usage is commonly used for the problem of identifying protein-coding gene sequences
in a genome, and an early studied observed different codon usage patterns for genes
in the same operon as compared to genes in different operons based on a small sample
of genes;
MeSH synonym : Synonymous Codon Usage;
MeSH hyponym : Codon Usage Bias; Codon Usage Pattern; Codon Preference;
Origin ID : D000081183;
UMLS CUI : C5197798;
