The 'effective number of codons' used in a gene.
TL;DR: A simple measure is presented that quantifies how far the codon usage of a gene departs from equal usage of synonymous codons, Nc, which provides an intuitively meaningful measure of the extent of codon preference in a gene.

Codon usage patterns in Escherichia coli, Bacillus subtilis, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Schizosaccharomyces pombe, Drosophila melanogaster and Homo sapiens; a review of the considerable within-species diversity
Paul M. Sharp,Elizabeth Cowe,Desmond G. Higgins,Denis C. Shields,Kenneth H. Wolfe,Frank Wright +5 more
TL;DR: These trends for codon usage are illustrated for six species whereCodon usage has been examined in detail, by presenting the pooled codon used for the 10% of genes at either end of the major trend.

TOPALi v2
Iain Milne,Dominik Lindner,Micha Bayer,Dirk Husmeier,Gráinne McGuire,David Marshall,Frank Wright +6 more
TL;DR: TOPALi v2 simplifies and automates the use of several methods for the evolutionary analysis of multiple sequence alignments and phylogenetic tree estimation using the Bayesian inference and maximum likelihood approaches.
TOPALi: software for automatic identification of recombinant sequences within DNA multiple alignments
TL;DR: TOPALi allows a choice of three statistical methods to predict the positions of breakpoints due to past recombination, and is a new Java graphical analysis application that allows the user to identify recombinant sequences within a DNA multiple alignment.
