Figure 1

Heat map of RSCU values for mammalian rhodopsin sequences. Each column represents a species and each row represents a codon, with the corresponding amino acid abbreviations. The higher the RSCU value, the more abundant the codon is in the sequence. Codons with the highest RSCU values per amino acid are highlighted with a red background. C-ending codons in all the amino acids except for leucine show the highest RSCU values.
