A comprehensive analysis of the phylogenetic signal in ramp sequences in 211 vertebrates

Abstract Ramp sequences increase translational speed and accuracy when rare, slowly-translated codons are found at the beginnings of genes. Here, the results of the first analysis of ramp sequences in a phylogenetic construct are presented. Ramp sequences were compared from 247 vertebrates (114 Mamm...
