OTHER RESOURCES FOR CODON USAGE ANALYSIS
| ||||
| Here are some selected links to codon usage topics: | ||||
|
Graphical Codon Usage Analyzer by Thomas Schödl |
This website gives a very nice graphical output of codon usage. You
can enter your own gene sequence and select the codon usage table for
analysis. You can easily identify segments of your gene that use
non-preferred codons, and also view the overall usage pattern of your gene.
You can also choose PDF output of the data. | |||
| Codon
Usage Database by Yasukazu Nakamura | This
website allows you to find codon usage tables for any organism in the
GenBank database. You can also determine the codon usage pattern for
specific genes in these organisms. Here, for example, is the codon
usage table for humans.
You may also paste in your own sequence and generate a codon usage table,
using the Countcodon program. | |||
| Analysis
of Codon Usage by James O. McInerney | This
website presents a more sophisticated approach to codon analysis than that
presented here, and describes the Relative Synonymous Codon Usage (RSCU)
index. You can download a program to calculate codon usage (GCUA,
General Codon Usage Analysis). | |||
| Correspondence
Analysis of Codon Usage by John Peden | This
website allows you to download a program (CodonW)
that performs multivariate analysis of codon usage, the preferred method
of analysis. I have not tested the program, and the page was last
updated in 1997. A second source of this program, which requires
registration, can be found at the UK
HGMP Resource Centre. | |||
