Correspondence Analysis of Codon Usage
CodonW is a package for codon usage analysis. It was designed to simplify
Multivariate Analysis (MVA) of codon usage. The MVA method employed in
CodonW is correspondence analysis (COA) (the most popular MVA method for
codon usage analysis). CodonW can generate a COA for codon usage, relative
synonymous codon usage or amino acid usage. Additional analyses of codon
usage include investigation of optimal codons, codon and dinucleotide bias,
and/or base composition. CodonW analyses sequences encoded by genetic codes
other than the universal code.
