2023, Molecular Medical Microbiology, Third EditionA more accurate relationship between 'effective number of codons' and GC3s under assumptions of no selection
2013, Computational Biology and ChemistryCitation Excerpt :According to Eq. (1), estimation of codon homozygosity is the key to the estimation of Nc. Several attempts have been made to improve estimating methods over last decade (Novembre, 2002; Marashi and Najafabadi, 2004; Fuglsang, 2004, 2005, 2006a,b, 2008; Banerjee et al., 2005). In contrast with Wright's original method new estimators have taken background nucleotide composition, sequence length, absence of codons encoding individual amino acid, and bias discrepancy into account.
