Base composition, adaptation, and evolution of goose astroviruses: codon-based investigation. [PDF]
Poult Sci, 2023 : Goose astroviruses (GoAstVs) are causative agents that account for fatal infection of goslings characterized by visceral urate deposition, resulting in severe economic losses in major goose-producing regions in China since 2017.

Variation in base composition underlies functional and evolutionary divergence in non-LTR retrotransposons. [PDF]
Mob DNA, 2020 Background Non-LTR retrotransposons often exhibit base composition that is markedly different from the nucleotide content of their host’s gene. For instance, the mammalian L1 element is AT-rich with a strong A bias on the positive strand, which results ...

Local genic base composition impacts protein production and cellular fitness. [PDF]
PeerJ, 2018 The maintenance of a G + C content that is higher than the mutational input to a genome provides support for the view that selection serves to increase G + C contents in bacteria.

A predictable conserved DNA base composition signature defines human core DNA replication origins. [PDF]
Nat Commun, 2020 In metazoan the DNA sequence elements characterizing origin specification are unknown. By generating and analysing 19 SNS-seq datasets from different human cell types, the authors reveal a class and features of Core origins of replication which can be ...

Compression rates of microbial genomes are associated with genome size and base composition. [PDF]
Genomics InformBackground To what degree a string of symbols can be compressed reveals important details about its complexity. For instance, strings that are not compressible are random and carry a low information potential while the opposite is true for highly ...
