Codon usage varies widely between species, between genes in a genome and between sites in a gene. Explanations for natural variation in codon usage fall into two categories: mutational and selective.

The other known alternate sense codon use among yeast was first identified in Candida albicans two decades ago. This too involves a CUG codon, but results in serine in the translated protein. “For ...
