From: Codon usage suggests that translational selection has a major impact on protein expression in trypanosomatids

Figure 5

Relative codon bias is conserved among trypanosomatids. CAI scores were calculated for single-copy, protein-coding sequences. (a) Relative scores for T. brucei and T. cruzi. (b) Relative scores for T. brucei and L. major. The syntenic, polycistronic clusters analysed were from, T. brucei chromosomes 1, 6 and 10 and from the orthologous genes in T. cruzi and on L. major chromosomes 12, 30 and 3 (see table 4 in the additional data file). The T. cruzi set is the same as that presented in Figure 3b; the chromosome numbers have not been determined in T. cruzi due to problems with sequence assembly.
