The relative synonymous codon use frequency of 135 MHC genes from four mammal species (Homo sapiens, Pan troglodyte, Macaca mulanta and Rattus norvegicus) is analyzed using a hierarchical cluster method. The result suggests that gene function is the dominant factor that determines codon usage bias, while species is a minor factor that determines further difference in codon usage bias for genes with similar functions. The conclusion may be useful in gene classification and gene function prediction. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.
