FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0001] The present invention relates generally to gene expression. More particularly, the present invention relates to construct systems and methods for comparing different iso-accepting codons according to their preference for translating RNA transcripts into proteins in cell or tissues of interest or for producing a selected phenotype in an organism of interest or part thereof. The codon preference comparisons thus obtained are particularly useful for modifying the translational efficiency of protein-encoding polynucleotides in cells or tissues of interest or for modulating the quality of a selected phenotype conferred by a phenotype-associated polypeptide upon an organism of interest or part thereof.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0002] The expression of foreign heterologous genes in transformed cells is now commonplace. A large number of mammalian genes, including, for example, murine and human genes, have been successfully expressed in various host cells, includ...
