A new discavery that codon evolution is governed by linear formulas based on simple calculations of a lot of genomic data. This study has been dirived from the evidence that a gene assembly coding 3,000-7,000 amino acid residues represents the whole genome (Mycoscience 44(5): 415-417, 2003); genome is constructed homogeneously with putative small units coding similar amino acid compositions.
