Codon Usage Patterns in Corynebacterium glutamicum: Mutational Bias, Natural Selection and Amino Acid Conservation

Figure 1

(a) The GC content and GC skew of the genome C. glutamicum with a 24 kb of window size and a 3 kb of step size. (b) The ENC plot of C. glutamicum. The continuous curve represents the relationship between GC3s and ENC values under random codon usage. (c) Distribution of C. glutamicum genes on the plane defined by the two main axes of the correspondence analysis.
