Mutation and selection on the wobble nucleotide in tRNA anticodons in marine bivalve mitochondrial genomes.

BACKGROUND: Animal mitochondrial genomes typically encode one tRNA for each synonymous codon family, so that each tRNA anticodon essentially has to wobble to recognize two or four synonymous codons. Several factors have been hypothesized to determine the nucleotide at the wobble site of a tRNA antic...
