Knowledge of the frequencies of synonymous triplets in protein-coding and non-coding DNA stretches can be used in gene finding. These frequencies depend on the GC content of the genome or parts of it.
Translation is a fundamental cellular process and an important step of gene expression resulting in the production of proteins in cells 1. In the past decade the advent of Ribo-Seq (also known as ...
The genetic code is made up of a total of 64 base triplets or codons. At least one codon encodes the information for each of the 20 amino acids used in the synthesis of proteins during translation.
