If distantly related species with similar GC contents have the same amino-acid or codon usages, we can conclude that phylogenetic constraints are relatively unimportant, and perhaps that genomes are at or near equilibrium with respect to mutation and selection (otherwise, different unrelated species would not attain the same amino-acid composition predicted from the nucleotide composition).

  • TRMA is caused by mutations which destroy the high affinity thiamine transporter of the plasma membrane [ 7 8 9 10 11 12 ] .
