Analysis of Codon Usage Patterns in Toxic Dinoflagellate Alexandrium tamarense through Expressed Sequence Tag Data

Figure 2

Nc-plot (Nc versus GC3s) of Alexandrium tamarense CCMP 1598 reconstructed genes. The solid curve represents the expected curve between GC3s and Nc under random codon usage. Gray dots and black circles indicate all genes and ribosomal protein genes, respectively.
