Figure 1

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.)
