Synonymous Codon Choice

Synonymous Codon Choice is a molecular genetic phenomenon in which a preferred codon is selected among functionally equivalent, synonymous codons encoding the same amino acid during translation, thereby influencing translational efficiency, accuracy, or regulation without altering the primary protein sequence.
