What is CodonW FOR LINUX?

CodonW

CodonW is a handy program that makes it easier to do multivariate analysis, especially when looking at codon and amino acid usage. It's also great for calculating standard indices of codon usage. Plus, it comes with both menu and command-line options, so you can pick what works best for you!

About the CodonW Project

The CodonW project was created by John Peden while he was working in Paul Sharp's lab at the University of Nottingham. John is currently focused on human genetics and serves as the ProCardis database manager at the WTCHG in Oxford University.
