Because here we studied many codon locations simultaneously and used a less restrictive P-value cutoff, it is very important to further examine the biological signals in other yeast species. Therefore, over-represented locations were examined. Only in frame codon location UAA+3 showed the same tendency in all other species. 1. Significant P-values are shown in bold (95% confidence level; p < 0.05). 2. Under-represented positions are shown as "n.a.".
