Abstract
The GC levels of codon third positions from 49 genomes coveering a wide phylogenetic range are linearly correlated with the GC levels of the corresponding genomes. Three different relationships have been found: one for prokaryotes and viruses, one for lower eukaryotes, and one for vertebrates. All points not fitting the first relationship can be brought into quasi coincidence with it when plotted against GC levels of coding sequences.Keywords
