DNA codon frequency is a parameter that can be used to compare the frequency of particular codons in the genome of living organisms. Certain organisms are biased toward using certain codons to code for certain amino acids. This bias is thought to be due to an evolutionary process that has shaped nearly every organism’s genome. To get around this, one would need to fetch raw DNA data from already available databases such as nucleotide and GenBank. The obtained data will then would be automatically parsed into their corresponding codons and saved in distributed databases. Certain tools would be introduced to the database that allows instant statistical analysis as well as comparative genomic analysis. Thus, users would be able to retrieve codon frequency from the database of any gene of interest that can be found in GenBank and nucleotide databases, as well as analysis of codon frequency/amino acid frequency bias tables.
