Codon-usage bias / tRNA-pool optimisation framework

Layer 3 — Biologyin the Translation subtree

Synonymous codons are not equiprobable: codon-usage frequencies correlate with tRNA-pool abundances via translational selection. CAI (codon-adaptation index, Sharp & Li 1987) measures geometric-mean usage relative to highly-expressed…
