Our preprint describes how #EffectivePopulationSize affects #AminoAcid usage. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/20. Within highly exchangeable pairs of amino acids, high Ne species are able to prefer #arginine over #lysine, and #valine over #isoleucine. This matches #thermophile preferences, as expected from theories of marginal protein stability at mutation-selection-drift balance. 1/6
