Estimation of Codon Commitment. The mean ± SD values of CUB were calculated for the 64 codons (n = 113). The mean/SD*100 values were regarded as the measure of a codon's commitment to a given CUB through evolution. Very low (-) values indicate strong negative CUB (under-utilization of that codon) while the meaning of high (+) values is the opposite. The codon commitment value reflects the propensity towards over-utilized codons (positive CUB). A: individual values, B: correlation analyses.
