%MinMax: A versatile tool for calculating and comparing synonymous codon usage and its impact on protein folding.

%MM calculates whether a given gene sequence encodes amino acids using the most common codons possible, the least common codons possible, or (most typically) some combination of these extremes. See our PLoS ONE paper for more details on how the %MinMax algorithm works.
%MinMax results are averaged over an 18-codon sliding window; hence the result for "codon window = 1" is the average codon usage for codons 1-18, codon window 2 = codons 2-19, etc.
