Abstract
On the other hand, we highlighted the point that ins/del mutations have a lesser impact on the selected genes of Saccharomyces cerevisiae compared to randomly generated ones. We hypothesized that the codon usage preferences in S. cerevisiae genes are responsible for the higher efficiency of translation machinery in this organism. Our results support the conjecture that codon usage preferences render the genetic code more effective in minimizing the effects of ins/del mutations.
