From: Quantitative relationship between synonymous codon usage bias and GC composition across unicellular genomes

Figure 5

Simulation results in the pseudo open reading frames (ORFs). (a) Relationship between the overall GC and GC3. (b) Relationship between GC1 and GC3. (c) Relationship between GC2 and GC3. (d) Relationship between GC and SCUO. (e) Relationship between GC1 and SCUO. (f) Relationship between GC3 and SCUO, where the red line denotes the binary selection model (Equation 12), the blue line denotes the codon bias resulting from a single amino acid with binary codons (Equation 10) and the green line denotes the mathematical model for 2, 3, 4 and 6 codons (Equation 11). (g) Relationship between GC2 and SCUO.
