| synonymous codon usage analysis of thirty two mycobacteriophage genomes. | synonymous codon usage of protein coding genes of thirty two completely sequenced mycobacteriophage genomes was studied using multivariate statistical analysis. one of the major factors influencing codon usage is identified to be compositional bias. codons ending with either c or g are preferred in highly expressed genes among which c ending codons are highly preferred over g ending codons. a strong negative correlation between effective number of codons (nc) and gc3s content was also observed, ... | 2010 | 20150956 |
