Abstract: | We have examined codon bias in 20 Brassica gene sequences collected from the literature. A comparison with the codon usage profile derived from 207 plant genes showed that Brassica genes distinctly differ from the plant genes with respect to Gly, Asp, Arg, lie, Try, Thr, Leu and Gin. Codon preferences for various amino acids did not differ among the three Brassica species, B. napus, B. oleracea and B. campestris considered in the present analysis. G ending codons for Thr, Ala, Pro and Ser are avoided by Brassica genes as in plant genes, in general. However, the avoidance of CG and TA doublets in Brassica genes is less than that observed in plant genes. |
