Abstract
The ratios of the codon usage in the quartets and sextets for the vertebrat e series exhibit a correlated behaviour which fits naturally in the framewo rk of the crystal basis model of the genetic code [1]. Moreover the observe d universal behaviour of these suitably normalized ratios can be easily exp lained. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
