Codon usage bias and the evolution of influenza A viruses. Codon Usage Biases of Influenza Virus [PDF]
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2010 Background The influenza A virus is an important infectious cause of morbidity and mortality in humans and was responsible for 3 pandemics in the 20th century. As the replication of the influenza virus is based on its host's machinery, codon usage of its

Molecular Biology Reports, 2021 Codon usage bias is the preferential or non-random use of synonymous codons, a ubiquitous phenomenon observed in bacteria, plants and animals. Different species have consistent and characteristic codon biases. Codon bias varies not only with species, family or group within kingdom, but also between the genes within an organism.

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.

Codon Usage Bias in Phytoplankton [PDF]
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022 Non-random usage of synonymous codons, known as “codon bias”, has been described in many organisms, from bacteria to Drosophila, but little is known about it in phytoplankton. This phenomenon is thought to be driven by selection for translational efficiency.

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.

Solving the riddle of codon usage preferences: a test for translational selection [PDF]
, 2004 Translational selection is responsible for the unequal usage of synonymous codons in protein coding genes in a wide variety of organisms. It is one of the most subtle and pervasive forces of molecular evolution, yet, establishing the underlying causes ...

COUSIN (COdon Usage Similarity INdex): A normalized measure of Codon Usage Preferences [PDF]
Genome Biology and Evolution, 2019 Abstract Codon 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.

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 ...

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.
