Title: Re: Explain how codon bias can be used to detect horizontal gene transfer. Post by: duddy on Apr 2, 2012 If an organism rarely uses a particular amino acid and one gene sequence has significantly more codons for the otherwise rare amino acid, this codon bias can be used to infer horizontal transfer of the gene.
