Eukaryotic dinucleotide preference rules and their implications for degenerate codon usage.

Abstract Eukaryotic nucleotide sequences show a consistent hierarchy of dinucleotides. Not only is e.g. G-C more frequent than C-G, but many other relations exist as well. These dinucleotide patterns “explain”, to a large measure, the degenerate codon usage in genes.
