CODON BIAS. “Highly expressed genes and codons encoding functionally important amino acids generally display particularly biased patterns of codon usage. This observation led to the theory that selection for translation optimization generates higher levels of codon bias. In other words, it is thought that the speed and accuracy of mRNA translation is higher for a subset of codons, referred to as “optimal” (“preferred”) codons.”
