Codons with moderate to high preference, RSCU values above 1.2, for each amino acid are in bold text. Only leucine, arginine, and serine have more than one codon with high preferences. Most amino acids with two codons had a preference for one codon, the exceptions being cysteine, lysine, and asparagine. (DOCX)
