Rhodophyta are among the closest known relatives of green plants. Studying the codons of
their genomes can help us understand the codon usage pattern and characteristics of the …

The modification of adenosine to inosine at the wobble position (I34) of tRNA anticodons is
an abundant and essential feature of eukaryotic tRNAs. The expansion of inosine-containing …

Codon usage bias (CUB) refers to different codons exhibiting varying frequencies of usage
in the genome. Studying CUB is crucial for understanding genome structure, function, and …

The circular mitochondrial genome of Mytilisepta virgata spans 14,713 bp, which contains
13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 2 ribosomal RNA genes, and 22 transfer RNA genes …

Horizontal gene transfer (HGT), the movement of heritable materials between distantly
related organisms, is crucial in eukaryotic evolution. However, the scale of HGT in …

The Dalbergia plants are widely distributed across more than 130 tropical and subtropical
countries and have significant economic and medicinal value. Codon usage bias (CUB) is a …

Highlights•The previously unresolved root of Acanthoecida is identified.•Rare genomic
changes support the proposed root.•Codon bias is identified as a putative source of …

The genetic code is necessarily degenerate with 64 possible nucleotide triplets being
translated into 20 amino acids. Eighteen out of the 20 amino acids are encoded by multiple …

Random mutations increase genetic variety and natural selection enhances adaption over
generations. Codon usage biases (CUB) provide clues about the genome adaptation …

Background Unicellular species make up the majority of eukaryotic diversity, however most
studies on transposable elements (TEs) have centred on multicellular host species. Such …
