Codon usage suggests that translational selection has a major impact on protein expression in trypanosomatids. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Different proteins are required in widely different quantities to build a living cell. In most organisms, transcription control makes a major contribution to differential expression.

Compositional constraints and selection forces dictate codon usage in human bocavirus
Human bocavirus (HBoV), of the genus Bocaparvovirus, is a small, non-enveloped linear single-stranded DNA virus of the Parvoviridae family. The virus is known to cause severe life-threatening respiratory tract infections in pediatric patients ...

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

Codon usage and codon context bias in Xanthophyllomyces dendrorhous [PDF]
Synonymous codons are used differentially in organisms from the three domains of life, a phenomenon referred to as codon usage bias. In addition, codon pair bias, particularly in the 3' codon context, has also been described in several organisms and is associated with the accuracy and rate of translation. An improved understanding of both types of bias

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

The Codon Statistics Database: A Database of Codon Usage Bias
Abstract We present the Codon Statistics Database, an online database that contains codon usage statistics for all the species with reference or representative genomes in RefSeq (over 15,000). The user can search for any species and access two sets of tables.
