Is there a similar bias for the relative use of synonymous codons, and can any such bias be predicted by their abundance in ESEs? Prior reports suggested that such trends may exist. From analysis of human exons, we find that 47 of the 59 codons with at least one synonym show differential usage in the proximity of exon ends, of which 42 remain significant after correction for multiple testing. Within sets of synonymous codons those more preferred near splice sites are generally those that are relatively more abundant within the ESEs.
