Eukaryotic evolutionary transitions are associated with extreme codon bias in functionally-related proteins.

Codon bias in the genome of an organism influences its phenome by changing the speed and efficiency of mRNA translation and hence protein abundance. We hypothesized that differences in codon bias, either between-species differences in orthologous genes, or within-species differences between genes, m...
