Background When there are no strand-specific biases in mutation and selection rates (that
is, in the substitution rates) between the two strands of DNA, the average nucleotide …

We propose in this paper to establish the relationship between homicides and attempted
homicides by a non-stationary time-series analysis. This analysis will be carried out by …

In this work, we show a set of ordinary differential equations that they have been proposed
for the modeling of Allee effect. We prove that there exists topologically equivalency …

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 …

Mutations are considered a spontaneous and random process, which is important
component of evolution because it generates genetic variation. On the other hand, mutations …

Most mutations are deleterious and require energetically costly repairs. Therefore, it seems
that any minimization of mutation rate is beneficial. On the other hand, mutations generate …

Synonymous codon usage can be influenced by mutations and/or selection, eg, for speed of
protein translation and correct folding. However, this codon bias can also be affected by a …

The sequential organization of genomes, ie the relations between distant base pairs and
regions within sequences, and its connection to the three-dimensional organization of …

One of hypotheses explaining the origin of the genetic code assumes that its evolution has
minimised the deleterious effects of mutations in coded proteins. To estimate the level of …

Background Any DNA sequence is a result of compromise between the selection and
mutation pressures exerted on it during evolution. It is difficult to estimate the relative …
