The frequencies of synonymous substitutions of mammalian genes cover a much wider range than previously thought. We report here that the different frequencies found in homologous genes from a given mammalian pair are correlated with those in the same homologous genes from a different mammalian pair. This indicates that the frequencies of synonymous substitutions are gene-specific (as are the frequencies of nonsynonymous substitutions), or, in other words, that ''fast'' and ''slow''' genes in one mammal are fast and slow, respectively, in any other one. Moreover, the frequencies of synonymous substitutions are correlated with the frequencies of nonsynonymous substitution in the same genes.
