The systematic codon usage bias has an important effect on genetic adaption in native species

AS Panja - Gene, 2024 - Elsevier
Random mutations increase genetic variety and natural selection enhances adaption over
generations. Codon usage biases (CUB) provide clues about the genome adaptation …

The application of population genetics in the study of codon usage bias

Studies on the origin and evolution of codon bias

JC Biro - arXiv preprint arXiv:0807.3901, 2008 - arxiv.org
Background: There is a 3-fold redundancy in the Genetic Code; most amino acids are
encoded by more than one codon. These synonymous codons are not used equally; there is …

[HTML][HTML] A new codon adaptation metric predicts vertebrate body size and tendency to protein disorder

CA Weibel, AL Wheeler, JE James, SM Willis, J Masel - elife, 2023 - elifesciences.org

Effective population size does not predict codon usage bias in mammals

MD Kessler, MD Dean - Ecology and evolution, 2014 - Wiley Online Library
Synonymous codons are not used at equal frequency throughout the genome, a
phenomenon termed codon usage bias (CUB). It is often assumed that interspecific variation …

Selection on codon bias

R Hershberg, DA Petrov - Annual review of genetics, 2008 - annualreviews.org
In a wide variety of organisms, synonymous codons are used with different frequencies, a
phenomenon known as codon bias. Population genetic studies have shown that …

[HTML][HTML] Intragenomic variation in non-adaptive nucleotide biases causes underestimation of selection on synonymous codon usage

AL Cope, P Shah - PLoS genetics, 2022 - journals.plos.org
Patterns of non-uniform usage of synonymous codons vary across genes in an organism
and between species across all domains of life. This codon usage bias (CUB) is due to a …

[PDF][PDF] Codon usage bias is evolutionarily conserved

BMH Keng, OYW Chan, MHT Ling - Asia Pacific Journal of Life Sciences, 2014 - Citeseer
Codon usage bias (CUB) reflects the frequency distribution of codons usage in the genome.
Several studies suggest that CUB is based on the combinations, which are most chemically …
