Evolutionary pressures on the yeast transcriptome [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Codon usage bias (CUB) is the well known phenomenon that the frequency of synonymous codons is unequal. This is presumably the result of adaptive pressures favouring some codons over others.

Synonymous terms in Lithuanian works of literary science in 1918–1940

open access: yesLietuvių Kalba, 2015
The article deals with synonymous terms used in the works of the theory and history of literary science published in Lithuanian between 1918 and 1940 (i.e. period of independent Lithuania). The paper discusses extent of terminology synonymy, types of one-

Synonymous Codon Usage Controls Various Molecular Aspects [PDF]

open access: yesGenomics & Informatics, 2017
Synonymous sites are generally considered to be functionally neutral. However, there are recent contradictory findings suggesting that synonymous alleles might have functional roles in various molecular aspects.

Synonymous nucleotide changes drive papillomavirus evolution

open access: yesTumour Virus Research, 2022
Papillomaviruses have been evolving alongside their hosts for at least 450 million years. This review will discuss some of the insights gained into the evolution of this diverse family of viruses.

Molecular bases for strong phenotypic effects of single synonymous codon substitutions in the E. coli ccdB toxin gene

open access: yesBMC Genomics, 2023
Background Single synonymous codon mutations typically have only minor or no effects on gene function. Here, we estimate the effects on cell growth of ~ 200 single synonymous codon mutations in an operonic context by mutating almost all positions of ccdB,

Synonymous Variants of Uncertain Silence [PDF]

open access: yes, 2023
Synonymous variants, traditionally regarded as silent mutations due to their lack of impact on protein sequence, structure and function, have been the subject of increasing scrutiny.

Synonymous genes explore different evolutionary landscapes. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS Genetics, 2008
The evolutionary potential of a gene is constrained not only by the amino acid sequence of its product, but by its DNA sequence as well. The topology of the genetic code is such that half of the amino acids exhibit synonymous codons that can reach ...

Strong purifying selection at synonymous sites in D. melanogaster. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS Genetics, 2013
Synonymous sites are generally assumed to be subject to weak selective constraint. For this reason, they are often neglected as a possible source of important functional variation.

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

open access: yes, 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 ...
