Abstract
The codon preference plot is useful for locating genes in
sequenced DNA, predicting the relative level of their expression
and for detecting DNA sequencing errors resulting in the
insertion or deletion of bases within a coding sequence. The three
possible reading frames are displayed in parallel along with the
open reading frames and plots of the location of rare codons in
each reading frame.
