Codon usage bias is the preferential or non-random use of synonymous codons, a
ubiquitous phenomenon observed in bacteria, plants and animals. Different species have …

Abstract Background and Aims Studies on codon usage in monocots have focused on
grasses, and observed patterns of this taxon were generalized to all monocot species. Here …

Lampreys are representatives of an ancient vertebrate lineage that diverged from our own∼
500 million years ago. By virtue of this deeply shared ancestry, the sea lamprey (P. marinus) …

[Objective] The codon usage bias in Gossypium hirsutum chloroplast genome was analyzed
to find the factors affecting the formation of codon bias.[Method] Codon of fifty genes which …

Organophosphorous pesticides and nerve agents inhibit the enzyme acetylcholinesterase at
neuronal synapses and in neuromuscular junctions. The resulting accumulation of …

Conservative Reductionism sets out a new theory of the relationship between physics and
the special sciences within the framework of functionalism. It argues that it is wrong-headed …

Background Codon usage analysis has been a classical topic for decades and has
significances for studies of evolution, mRNA translation, and new gene discovery, etc. While …

Background Kuruma shrimp, a major commercial shrimp species in the world, has two
cryptic or sibling species, Marsupenaeus japonicus and Marsupenaeus pulchricaudatus …

Codon usage bias (CUB) is a unique property of genome which refers to non-random usage
of synonymous codons in coding sequences. The present study makes an attempt to find out …

Abstract Background Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) extends over a wide range of
contrasting environmental conditions, reflecting substantial local adaptation. For this reason …
