The origins of the strategy of codon use.

Abstract

We analyzed the DNA sequences taking as an elementary pattern segments of increasing length from the codon to the gene. We have thus been able to identify part of the constraints from which originates the use of the code degeneracy in each gene. Our results show that the strategy of codon use is not solely related to the translation apparatus characteristics.
