Relative Codon Adaptation Index, a Sensitive Measure of Codon Usage Bias
We propose a simple, sensitive measure of synonymous codon usage bias, the Relative Codon Adaptation Index (rCAI), as a way to discriminate better between highly biased and unbiased regions, compared with the widely used Codon Adaptation Index (CAI). CAI is a geometric mean of the relative usage of...
