BMC Bioinformatics, 2012 Background In many genomes, a clear preference in the usage of particular codons exists. The mechanisms that induce codon biases remain an open question; studies have attributed codon usage to translational selection, mutational bias and drift ...

Clustering of classical swine fever virus isolates by codon pair bias
BMC Research Notes, 2011 Background The genetic code consists of non-random usage of synonymous codons for the same amino acids, termed codon bias or codon usage. Codon juxtaposition is also non-random, referred to as codon context bias or codon pair bias.

Distinct responses to rare codons in select Drosophila tissues
eLife, 2022 Codon usage bias has long been appreciated to influence protein production. Yet, relatively few studies have analyzed the impacts of codon usage on tissue-specific mRNA and protein expression.

On ribosome load, codon bias and protein abundance. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Different codons encoding the same amino acid are not used equally in protein-coding sequences. In bacteria, there is a bias towards codons with high translation rates.

Codon Usage of Hepatitis E Viruses: A Comprehensive Analysis
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022 Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is an emerging zoonotic pathogen with multiple species and genotypes, which may be classified into human, animal, and zoonotic HEV. Codon usage bias of HEV remained unclear.

A general model of codon bias due to GC mutational bias.
PLoS ONE, 2010 BackgroundIn spite of extensive research on the effect of mutation and selection on codon usage, a general model of codon usage bias due to mutational bias has been lacking.

Codon Pair Bias Is a Direct Consequence of Dinucleotide Bias
Cell Reports, 2016 Codon pair bias is a remarkably stable characteristic of a species. Although functionally uncharacterized, robust virus attenuation was achieved by recoding of viral proteins using underrepresented codon pairs.

Codon Usage Bias Correlates With Gene Length in Neurodegeneration Associated Genes
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2022 Codon usage analysis is a crucial part of molecular characterization and is used to determine the factors affecting the evolution of a gene. The length of a gene is an important parameter that affects the characteristics of the gene, such as codon usage,

Codon Bias Patterns of E. coli's Interacting Proteins. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Synonymous codons, i.e., DNA nucleotide triplets coding for the same amino acid, are used differently across the variety of living organisms. The biological meaning of this phenomenon, known as codon usage bias, is still controversial.
