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 ...

Species based synonymous codon usage in fusion protein gene of Newcastle disease virus. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Newcastle disease is highly pathogenic to poultry and many other avian species. However, the Newcastle disease virus (NDV) has also been reported from many non-avian species.

Analysis of codon usage bias of classical swine fever virus [PDF]
Veterinary World, 2021 Background and Aim: Classical swine fever (CSF), caused by CSF virus (CSFV), is a highly contagious disease in pigs causing 100% mortality in susceptible adult pigs and piglets. High mortality rate in pigs causes huge economic loss to pig farmers.

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.

SARS-CoV-2 Codon Usage Bias Downregulates Host Expressed Genes With Similar Codon Usage
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2020 Severe acute respiratory syndrome has spread quickly throughout the world and was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization (WHO). The pathogenic agent is a new coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) that infects pulmonary cells with great effectiveness. In

Quantifying Position-Dependent Codon Usage Bias [PDF]
Molecular Biology and Evolution, 2014 Although the mapping of codon to amino acid is conserved across nearly all species, the frequency at which synonymous codons are used varies both between organisms and between genes from the same organism. This variation affects diverse cellular processes including protein expression, regulation, and folding. Here, we mathematically model an additional

Patterns of Codon Usage Bias in Silene latifolia [PDF]
Molecular Biology and Evolution, 2010 Patterns of codon usage bias (CUB) convey useful information about the selection on synonymous codons induced by gene expression and contribute to an understanding of substitution patterns observed at synonymous sites. They can also be informative about the distinctive evolutionary properties of sex chromosomes such as genetic degeneration of the Y ...

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.

Codon-based indices for modeling gene expression and transcript evolution
Computational and Structural Biotechnology Journal, 2021 Codon usage bias (CUB) refers to the phenomena that synonymous codons are used in different frequencies in most genes and organisms. The general assumption is that codon biases reflect a balance between mutational biases and natural selection.
