Exonic Transcription Factor Binding Directs Codon Choice and Affects Protein Evolution

QT:{{”
We found that ~15% of human codons are dual-use codons (“duons”) that simultaneously specify both amino acids and TF recognition sites. Duons are highly conserved and have shaped protein evolution, and TF-imposed constraint appears to be a major driver of codon usage bias.

    I do not even know how I ended up here, but I thought this post was good.

    I don’t know who you are but definitely you are going to a
    famous blogger if you are not already 😉 Cheers!
