A modified non-homogeneous model for codon preference and primary sequence structure in protein-coding regions

  • Published:
Wuhan University Journal of Natural Sciences

Abstract

Based on non-homogeneous model, a modified model is proposed. The new model deals with codon preference in protein-coding regions, reflects more accurately the key biological features of the regions. In addition, it is demonstrated, via an example, the modified model offers better solutions than previous model does.
