Variation in synonymous codon use and DNA polymorphism within the Drosophila genome
Variation in synonymous codon use and DNA polymorphism within the Drosophila genome is a scholarly work by Adam Eyre-Walker, published in 2006 in ''Journal of Evolutionary Biology''. The main subjects of the publication include genome, genetics, Synonymous substitution, ribosome, gene, population genetics, Nonsynonymous substitution, evolutionary biology, Drosophila melanogaster, codon usage bias, RNA sequencing, genetic variation, purifying selection, and biology. The authors argue that selective constraints for optimal codon usage are likely to be correlated with selective constraints on the protein, both between codons within a gene, as previously suggested, and also between genes within a genome..
