From: Codon usage suggests that translational selection has a major impact on protein expression in trypanosomatids

Figure 2

Correspondence between codon-usage in highly expressed genes and tRNA gene copy number. (a) Correspondence between amino acid frequency and cognate tRNA gene copy number in T. brucei; patterns were broadly similar in T. cruzi and L. major (data not shown). (b) Correspondence between synonymous codon usage (lower charts with black bars) and cognate tRNA gene copy number (upper charts with grey bars). The GA3 codon-pairs with >30% bias in all three trypanosomatids are shown.
