Relative Codon Adaptation Index, a Sensitive Measure of Codon Usage Bias

open access: yesEvolutionary Bioinformatics, 2010
We propose a simple, sensitive measure of synonymous codon usage bias, the Relative Codon Adaptation Index (rCAI), as a way to discriminate better between highly biased and unbiased regions, compared with the widely used Codon Adaptation Index (CAI). CAI is a geometric mean of the relative usage of codons in a gene, and is calculated using the codon ...

Compositional Constraint Is the Key Force in Shaping Codon Usage Bias in Hemagglutinin Gene in H1N1 Subtype of Influenza A Virus

open access: yesInternational Journal of Genomics, 2014
It is vital to unravel the codon usage bias in order to gain insights into the evolutionary forces dictating the viral evolution process. Influenza A virus has attracted attention of many investigators over the years due to high mutation rate and being ...

APOE genotype and the effect of statins on lipid outcomes: A meta‐analysis

open access: yesBritish Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aim APOE genotype may affect statin therapy response. We conducted a meta‐analysis to update and quantify this association across various outcomes. Methods We searched seven databases (MEDLINE, Scopus, Web of Science, the Cochrane Library, APA PsycINFO, CINAHL Plus and ClinicalTrials.gov) on 9 May 2024.

Base Composition and Translational Selection are Insufficient to Explain Codon Usage Bias in Plant Viruses

open access: yesViruses, 2013
Viral codon usage bias may be the product of a number of synergistic or antagonistic factors, including genomic nucleotide composition, translational selection, genomic architecture, and mutational or repair biases.

The evolving therapeutic landscape of spinal muscular atrophy – A scoping review of investigational agents, emerging delivery technologies and strategic innovations

open access: yesBritish Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a severe neuromuscular disease with emerging therapeutic complexity. This review aims to systematically map the global pipeline of investigational treatments for SMA. Using ClinicalTrials.gov and complementary international registries, we identified 21 planned or ongoing interventional trials from 2020 to 2025 targeting

Engineering of CoA‐Acylating Butyraldehyde Dehydrogenase for Enhanced 1,3‐Butanediol Production in Escherichia coli

open access: yesBiotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Microbial production of 1,3‐butanediol (1,3‐BDO) offers a renewable route to this versatile C4 chemical. However, the low performance of CoA‐acylating butyraldehyde dehydrogenase (Bld), which contains a catalytic cysteine, limits efficient production in recombinant Escherichia coli (E. coli).

Early evolutionary history of the seed

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The seed is an essential stage in the life history of gymnospermous and angiospermous plants, facilitating both their survival and dispersal. We reappraise knowledge of the evolutionary history of the gymnospermous seed, from its origin in the late Devonian through to the well‐known end‐Permian extinctions – an interval encompassing the ...

Measurement of average decoding rates of the 61 sense codons in vivo

open access: yeseLife, 2014
Most amino acids can be encoded by several synonymous codons, which are used at unequal frequencies. The significance of unequal codon usage remains unclear. One hypothesis is that frequent codons are translated relatively rapidly.

Maximizing Transcription Efficiency Causes Codon Usage Bias

open access: yesGenetics, 1996
Abstract The rate of protein synthesis depends on both the rate of initiation of translation and the rate of elongation of the peptide chain. The rate of initiation depends on the encountering rate between ribosomes and mRNA; this rate in turn depends on the concentration of ribosomes and mRNA. Thus, patterns of codon usage that increase
