Reasons underlying certain tendencies in the data on the frequency of codon usage

TL;DR

This paper explores qualitative tendencies in codon usage, focusing on adenine and uracil distribution in mRNA sequences and arginine codons, providing insights without complex calculations.

Contribution

It identifies and discusses qualitative tendencies in codon usage related to adenine, uracil, and arginine codons in mRNA sequences, emphasizing simplicity in analysis.

Findings

Identified tendencies in adenine and uracil distribution in mRNA

Analyzed usage patterns of arginine codons

Tendencies are qualitative and easily interpretable

Abstract

The tendencies described in this work were revealed in the course of examination of adenine and uracil distribution in the mRNA encoding sequence. The study also discusses the usage of codons occupied by the amino acid arginine in the table of the universal genetic code. All of the described tendencies are qualitative, so neither sophisticated methods nor cumbersome calculations are necessary to reveal and interpret them.
