Codon usage analysis
The G+C content of a genome and the codon usage of its genes are determined by selection and mutation pressures [ 1 ] . Because these evolutionary processes are characteristic of each species, the sequences belonging to a genome share a common pattern of composition of bases, codons and oligonucleotides [ 2 3 ] , making it possible to identify laterally transferred genes (LTGs) as those whose features are atypical for a particular genome.
I knew unmentionables simply as a euphemism for `underwear'; two dictionaries of American usage, one thesaurus, and one husband (from Mr. Sharp's own state of Missouri) bear out that impression.
Although it has been known for some time that the frequencies of some codons and amino acids correlate with genome GC content [ 1], the causality has remained unclear: correlations could exist because selection for a particular codon or amino-acid usage produces a particular genome GC content, or because mutation towards a particular GC content determines codon and amino-acid usage according to combinatorial principles.
What I am getting at is that more and more people today seem to be less and less aware of any but their own way of using the language, either because they are no longer exposed to the writings of great authors, or because they are not taught grammar and usage and style, or both.
