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.

Comparative analysis of codon usage patterns of FUT2 from different species
Kuwait Journal of Science, 2022 Enterotoxigenic E. coli is an important zoonotic pathogen causing diarrhea in human and newborn animals. α - (1,2) fucosyltransferase 2 (FUT2) is closely associated with the formation of pathogenic receptors of Enterotoxigenic E. coli.

Modal Codon Usage: Assessing the Typical Codon Usage of a Genome [PDF]
Molecular Biology and Evolution, 2009 Most genomes are heterogeneous in codon usage, so a codon usage study should start by defining the codon usage that is typical to the genome. Although this is commonly taken to be the genomewide average, we propose that the mode-the codon usage that matches the most genes-provides a more useful approximation of the typical codon usage of a genome.

COUSIN (COdon Usage Similarity INdex): A normalized measure of Codon Usage Preferences [PDF]
Genome Biology and Evolution, 2019 AbstractCodon Usage Preferences (CUPrefs) describe the unequal usage of synonymous codons at the gene, genomic region or genome scale. Numerous indices have been developed to measure the CUPrefs of a sequence. We introduce a normalized index to calculate CUPrefs called COUSIN for COdon Usage Similarity INdex.

Decoding the codon usage patterns in Y-domain region of hepatitis E viruses
Journal of Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology, 2022 Background Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is a positive-sense RNA virus belonging to the family Hepeviridae. The genome of HEV is organized into three open-reading frames (ORFs): ORF1, ORF2, and ORF3.

Patterns and influencing factor of synonymous codon usage in porcine circovirus
Virology Journal, 2012 Background Analysis of codon usage can reveal much about the molecular evolution of the viruses. Nevertheless, little information about synonymous codon usage pattern of porcine circovirus (PCV) genome in the process of its evolution is available.

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2020 Gossypium hirsutum and G. barbadense mitochondrial genomes were analyzed to understand the factors shaping codon usage. While most analyses of codon usage suggest minimal to no bias, nucleotide composition, specifically GC content, was significantly ...

A code within the genetic code: codon usage regulates co-translational protein folding
Cell Communication and Signaling, 2020 The genetic code is degenerate, and most amino acids are encoded by two to six synonymous codons. Codon usage bias, the preference for certain synonymous codons, is a universal feature of all genomes examined.

Codon usage in plant genes [PDF]
Nucleic Acids Research, 1989 We have examined codon bias in 207 plant gene sequences collected from Genbank and the literature. When this sample was further divided into 53 monocot and 154 dicot genes, the pattern of relative use of synonymous codons was shown to differ between these taxonomic groups, primarily in the use of G + C in the degenerate third base.

Analysis of synonymous codon usage in Hepatitis A virus
Virology Journal, 2011 Background Hepatitis A virus is the causative agent of type A viral hepatitis, which causes occasional acute hepatitis. Nevertheless, little information about synonymous codon usage pattern of HAV genome in the process of its evolution is available.
