Our model therefore explains the fact that while stop codons are indeed frequently lost from AT-rich genomes, the stop codons UAG and UGA - which are more likely than UAA to drift into disuse in AT-rich genomes- are not themselves disproportionately prone to reassignment [ 16].
Stop codons may be particularly prone to reassignment either because they are less prevalent than sense codons (occurring only once per gene) and therefore cause minimal detrimental effects if they are reassigned, or because changes to release factors can occur rapidly [ 4, 13].
