Abstract

Relative Synonymous Codons Uses and Relative Adaptiveness of a Codon table bias importance in gene expression are well documented in the literature. However, to improve the gene expression we need to figure out which codons are optimal for the expression in order to synthesize an appropriate DNA sequence. An alternative to the manual approach, which is obviously a tedious task, is to set up software on your computer to perform this. Though such kinds of programs are available on the internet, none of them are open-source libraries. Here you can use our perl program to do your task more easily and efficiently. It's free for everyone.
