Codon usage and codon selection in mycobacteriophage Patience. (A) Relative synonymous codon usage (RSCU) for Patience and its host, M. smegmatis, is plotted for the 59 degenerate codons; RSCU was calculated for all genes in the respective genomes, thereby reflecting mutational biases. (B) Relationship between codon selection of 81 Patience genes and peptide counts (normalized for gene length) reported by mass spectrometry from M. smegmatis cells infected by Patience for 150 min. (C) Relationship between codon selection in Patience and its host, M. smegmatis. Codon selection is reported as δ values for each of the 59 degenerate codons. Codons are colored as in panel A (see inset).
