title: The missense errors in protein can be controlled by selective synonymous codon usage at the level of transcription.
abstract: In the cases of the 6-fold degenerate residues and the stop signal, selective codon usage at the level of transcription can account for a 10-20% variation in their mistranslation rate. For all other residues, the mistranslation rate is dependent upon the degree of degeneracy only, but not upon the pattern of synonymous codon usage.
