The evolution and genomic stop codon frequencies have not been rigorously studied with the exception of coding of non-canonical amino acids. Here we study the rate of evolution and frequency distribution of stop codons in bacterial genomes.
We show that in bacteria stop codons evolve slower than synonymous sites, suggesting the action of weak ne...
