evolutionary characterization of tembusu virus infection through identification of codon usage patterns. | tembusu virus (tmuv) is a single-stranded, positive-sense rna virus. as reported, tmuv infection has resulted in significant poultry losses, and the virus may also pose a threat to public health. to characterize tmuv evolutionarily and to understand the factors accounting for codon usage properties, we performed, for the first time, a comprehensive analysis of codon usage bias for the genomes of 60 tmuv strains. the most recently published tmuv strains were found to be widely distributed in coas ... | 2015 | 26205688 |
