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.

Comparative analysis of codon usage between Gossypium hirsutum and G. barbadense mitochondrial genomes

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 ...

Genetic Evolution and Molecular Selection of the HE Gene of Influenza C Virus [PDF]

, 2019
Influenza C virus (ICV) was first identified in humans and swine, but recently also in cattle, indicating a wider host range and potential threat to both the livestock industry and public health than was originally anticipated.

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.

Translation elongation can control translation initiation on eukaryotic mRNAs [PDF]

, 2013
Synonymous codons encode the same amino acid, but differ in other biophysical properties. The evolutionary selection of codons whose properties are optimal for a cell generates the phenomenon of codon bias.

Solving the riddle of codon usage preferences: a test for translational selection [PDF]

, 1998
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 ...

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.

The effect of multiple evolutionary selections on synonymous codon usage of genes in the Mycoplasma bovis genome. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Mycoplasma bovis is a major pathogen causing arthritis, respiratory disease and mastitis in cattle. A better understanding of its genetic features and evolution might represent evidences of surviving host environments.

Pangenome evidence for higher codon usage bias and stronger translational selection in core genes of Escherichia coli

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016
Codon usage bias, as a combined interplay from mutation and selection, has been intensively studied in Escherichia coli. However, codon usage analysis in an E. coli pangenome remains unexplored and the relative importance of mutation and selection acting
