Does adaptation to vertebrate codon usage relate to flavivirus emergence potential?
Codon adaptation index (CAI) is a measure of synonymous codon usage biases given a usage reference. Through mutation, selection, and drift, viruses can optimize their replication efficiency and produce more offspring, which could increase the chance of secondary transmission. To evaluate how higher CAI towards the host has been associated with higher viral titers, we explored temporal trends of...
متن کاملThe codon Adaptation Index--a measure of directional synonymous codon usage bias, and its potential applications.
A simple, effective measure of synonymous codon usage bias, the Codon Adaptation Index, is detailed. The index uses a reference set of highly expressed genes from a species to assess the relative merits of each codon, and a score for a gene is calculated from the frequency of use of all codons in that gene. The index assesses the extent to which selection has been effective in moulding the patt...
متن کاملCodon usage in the vertebrate hemoglobins and its implications.
A study of codon usage in vertebrate hemoglobins revealed an evolutionary trend toward elevated numbers of CpG codon boundary pairs in mammalian hemoglobin alpha genes. Selection for CpG codon boundaries countering the generally observed CpG suppression is strongly suggested by these data. These observations parallel recently published experimental results that indicate that constitutive expres...
متن کاملP-128: Optimization of Human LH Gene Expression by Codon Usage Adaptation in CHO Cell Line
a:4:{s:10:"Background";s:897:"Human luteinizing hormone (hLH) belongs to glycoprotein hormones which is composed of two non-covalently linked subunit, α and β. The α-subunit is similar in all glycoprotein hormones, whereas the β-subunit is conferring the hormonal specificity. This hormone has important roles in the growth and maturity of sexual organs and secondary sexual characteristics and st...
متن کاملDoes Sketching Skill Relate to Good Design?
Sketching is an activity that takes place throughout the engineering design process, and is often linked to design cognition. This preliminary study identifies different skills that contribute to a designer’s sketching ability and explores how those skills might be related to sketch fluency and design outcome. A positive correlation was found between the quantity of sketches produced and sketch...
