The distinct lifestyle of obligately intracellular bacteria can alter fundamental forces that drive
and constrain genome change. In this study, sequencing the 792-kb genome of …

Taxa of Buchnera aphidicola (hereafter “Buchnera”) are mutualistic intracellular symbionts of
aphids, known for their remarkable biological traits such as genome reduction, strand …

Codon usage bias in prokaryotic genomes is largely a consequence of background
substitution patterns in DNA, but highly expressed genes may show a preference towards …

Synonymous codon usage of protein coding genes of thirty two completely sequenced
mycobacteriophage genomes was studied using multivariate statistical analysis. One of the …

The analysis on codon usage bias of UL24 gene of duck enteritis virus (DEV) may improve
our understanding of the evolution and pathogenesis of DEV and provide a basis for …

Synonymous codon and amino acid usage biases have been investigated in 903 Mimivirus
protein-coding genes in order to understand the architecture and evolution of Mimivirus …

There are two main forces that affect usage of synonymous codons: directional mutational
pressure and selection. The effectiveness of protein translation is usually considered as the …

Frankia are nitrogen-fixing actinomycetes that form a symbiotic association with over 200
species of woody dicotyledonous plants. Recently, three Frankia genomes were completely …

In this study, the factors driving genome-wide patterns of codon usages in Lawsonia
intracellularis genome are determined. For genes on the chromosome of the bacterium, it is …

A comparative analysis of the codon usage bias in the newly discovered dUTPase gene
(Assigned Accession No.: DQ486149) of the duck enteritis virus (DEV) and the dUTPase …
