Species-specific improvement of the correlation of tRNA gene count and codon usage upon application of Sz. japonicus–adjusted wobbles. Four additional wobbles of U(NN) anticodons are added to the cerevisiae defined rules (Ala-TGC, Gly-TCC, Ser-TGA, Val-TAC) enabling decoding of the respective four-box through those tRNA genes. Although a significant improvement is seen for japonicus, little change is seen in correlation scores of most yeasts. Graphed data are numerically presented in Table 6.
