The codons ending with G/C base was mostly favored over A/T–ending base in the coding sequences of GATA2 across mammals.
Correlation coefficients between codon usage and GC3s suggested that codon usage of GATA2 has been influenced by GC bias.
RSCU values of GATA2 gene suggested that the C–ending codons were mostly favored in comparison to G–ending codons.
Significant difference in nonsynonymous substitution rate indicates a divergent evolution in the mammals for GATA2 gene.
Mutation pressure played a minor role while natural selection played a major role in the codon usage patterns of GATA2 gene.
