It is vital to unravel the codon usage bias in order to gain insights into the evolutionary forces dictating the viral evolution process. Influenza A virus has attracted attention of many investigators over the years due to high mutation rate and being ...

Background Codon optimization is a common method to improve protein expression levels in Pichia pastoris and the current strategy is to replace rare codons with preferred codons to match the codon usage bias.

Selection on Codon Usage for Error Minimization at the Protein Level [PDF]
Given the structure of the genetic code, synonymous codons differ in their capacity to minimize the effects of errors due to mutation or mistranslation.

Highly syntenic and yet divergent: a tale of two Theilerias [PDF]
The published genomic sequences of the two major host-transforming Theileria species of cattle represent a rich resource of information that has allowed novel bioinformatic and experimental studies into these important apicomplexan parasites. Since their

Maximizing Transcription Efficiency Causes Codon Usage Bias
Abstract The rate of protein synthesis depends on both the rate of initiation of translation and the rate of elongation of the peptide chain. The rate of initiation depends on the encountering rate between ribosomes and mRNA; this rate in turn depends on the concentration of ribosomes and mRNA. Thus, patterns of codon usage that increase

Evolutionary rates and gene dispensability associate with replication timing in the Archaeon Sulfolobus islandicus [PDF]
In bacterial chromosomes, the position of a gene relative to the single origin of replication generally reflects its replication timing, how often it is expressed, and consequently, its rate of evolution.

Analysis of synonymous codon usage bias in 09H1N1
A novel subtype of influenza A virus 09H1N1 has rapidly spread across the world. Evolutionary analyses of this virus have revealed that 09H1N1 is a triple reassortant of segments from swine, avian and human influenza viruses. In this study, we investigated factors shaping the codon usage bias of 09H1N1 and carried out cluster analysis of 60 strains of ...

Relative Codon Adaptation Index, a Sensitive Measure of Codon Usage Bias
We propose a simple, sensitive measure of synonymous codon usage bias, the Relative Codon Adaptation Index (rCAI), as a way to discriminate better between highly biased and unbiased regions, compared with the widely used Codon Adaptation Index (CAI). CAI is a geometric mean of the relative usage of codons in a gene, and is calculated using the codon ...

Good Codons, Bad Transcript: Large Reductions in Gene Expression and Fitness Arising from Synonymous Mutations in a Key Enzyme [PDF]
Biased codon usage in protein-coding genes is pervasive, whereby amino acids are largely encoded by a specific subset of possible codons. Within individual genes, codon bias is stronger at evolutionarily conserved residues, favoring codons recognized by ...

Analysis of Synonymous Codon Usage Bias in Flaviviridae Virus [PDF]
Background. Flaviviridae viruses are single-stranded, positive-sense RNA viruses, which threat human constantly mediated by mosquitoes, ticks, and sandflies. Considering the recent increase in the prevalence of the family virus and its risk potential, we investigated the codon usage pattern to understand its evolutionary processes and provide some ...
