Data on Stop Codon Usage in Bacteria and Its Correlation with Release Factor Abundance

We present a comprehensive analysis of stop codon usage in bacteria by analyzing over eight million coding sequences of 4684 bacterial sequences. Using a newly developed program called "stop codon counter," the frequencies of the three classical stop codons TAA, TAG, and TGA were analyzed, and a publicly available stop codon database was built. Datafiles contain: 1) Complete data set of stop codon usage of all analyzed sequences as described in the publication "Comprehensive Analysis of Stop Codon Usage in Bacteria and Its Correlation with Release Factor Abundance" by Korkmaz et al (2014). 2) The Java program that was used for the analysis of the coding sequences.
