摘要：
The codon usage of 10 E. histolytica genes comprising 4455 codons was analysed. The codon usage revealed an extremely biased use of synonymous codons with a preference for NNU (44%) and NNA (41.4%) codons. Codons CGG (arg), AGG (arg) and CCG (pro) were absent in the E. histolytica genes examined. The codon usage of E. histolytica resembled that of Plasmodium falciparum.
