Comparison of dinucleotide frequency and codon usage in Toxoplasma and Plasmodium: evolutionary implications.

A M Johnson1.   

Abstract

The weight-averaged observed/expected dinucleotide frequencies for the sum total of the coding regions of five Toxoplasma genes were compared with the same parameters previously determined for the coding regions of 21 Plasmodium genes. In addition, codon usage in the five Toxoplasma genes was compared with that in the 21 Plasmodium genes, and the percent distribution of amino acids in the Toxoplasma protein pool and the Plasmodium protein pool were compared with that in a general protein pool of 314 proteins. The results are consistent with the hypothesis that, contrary to currently held opinion, the genera Toxoplasma and Plasmodium are not especially closely related.
