Large scale comparative genomics of codon context

The efficiency of protein synthesis is highly dependent on codon usage and codon context. Indeed, the choice of particular synonymous codons is constrained by neighbour codons (codon context) to optimize mRNA decoding speed and accuracy. This is related to spatial (steric) effects created by the nee...
