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.

Analysis of 14 BAC sequences from the Aedes aegypti genome: a benchmark for genome annotation and assembly

newsdigg submitted, created time 1 year 7 months (genomebiology.com)

Aedes aegypti is the principal vector of Yellow fever and Dengue virus throughout the tropical world. To provide a set of manually curated and annotated sequences from the Ae. aegypti genome, 14 mapped BAC clones encompassing 1.57 Mb were sequenced, assembled and manually annotated using a combination of computational gene-finding, EST matches and comparative protein homology.
Fifty and 43 of the 51 manual annotations demonstrated a high level of similarity to Anopheles gambiae and Drosophila melanogaster genes respectively
