In angiosperms (as in other species), GC content varies along and between genes, within a
genome, and between genomes of different species, but the reason for this distribution is still …

The genus Neocinnamomum is considered to be one of the most enigmatic groups in
Lauraceae, mainly distributed in tropical and subtropical regions of Southeast Asia. The …

It is important and meaningful to understand the codon usage pattern and the factors that
shape codon usage of maize. In this study, trends in synonymous codon usage in maize …

Base composition varies among and within eukaryote genomes. Although mutational bias
and selection have initially been invoked, more recently GC-biased gene conversion …

Nucleotide landscapes, which are the way base composition is distributed along a genome,
strongly vary among species. The underlying causes of these variations have been much …

Background Surprisingly little is known about the organization and distribution of tRNA
genes and tRNA-related sequences on a genome-wide scale. While tRNA gene …

The variation of GC content is a key genome feature because it is associated with
fundamental elements of genome organization. However, the reason for this variation is still …

Gene expression is controlled at transcriptional and post-transcriptional levels including
decoding of messenger RNA (mRNA) into polypeptides via ribosome-mediated translation …

The proportions of the four nucleotides in DNA may vary significantly in various genome
components and with different selective forces or mutation biases acting on particular …

In this study, trends in synonymous codons usage of Volvariella volvecea have been first
examined by analysis of complete coding sequences and gene chip data. The results …
