A number of new genes have been sequenced since worm codon usage was summarized by Emmons (Table 2 in The Genome, The Nematode Caenorhabditis ing Harbor Lab.). An updated codon usage table has been derived from the sequences of act-1, act-2, act-3, act-4 (Krause et al., J. Mol. Biol. 208 (1989) 381-392), col-1, col-2 (Kramer et al., Cell 30 (1982) 599-606), col-6, col-7, col-8, col-14, col-19 (Cox et al., Gene 76 (1989) 331-344), deb-1 (Barstead and Waterston, J. Biol. Chem. 264 (1989) 10177-10185), dpy-13 (von Mende et al., Cell 55 (1988) 567-576), glp-1 (Yochem and Greenwald, Cell 58 (1989) 553-563), lin-12 (Yochem et al., Nature 335 (1988) 547- 550), myo-1, myo-2, myo-3 (Dibb et al., J. Mol. Biol. 205 (1989) 603- 613), sqt-1 (Kramer et al., Cell 55 (1988) 555-565), unc-15 (Kagawa et al., J. Mol. Biol. 207 (1989) 311-333), unc-54 (Kam et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 80 (1983) 42534257), and vit-5 (Spieth et al., Nucl. Acids Res.) [See Figure 1]
