15. These probabilities were estimated as pi=(GCN)i/i=1T(GCN)i, where (GCN)i is the gene copy number of the ith tRNA and T is the total number of different tRNAs. The abundance of tRNAs is known to be correlated with tRNA gene copy numbers in yeast [R. Percudani, A. Pavesi, and S. Ottonello, J. Mol. Biol. 268, 322 (1997)].

16. In these computations we have taken into consideration that a ribosome occupies 9 codons [S. Wolin and P. Walter, EMBO J. EMJODG 0261-4189 7, 3559 (1988)].
