Schistosoma mansoni: patterns of codon usage and bias.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Codon usage and bias has been examined in 20 genes of Schistosoma mansoni. Significant heterogeneity was detected in the patterns of codon usage and bias among genes by metric multidimensional scaling and three general indicators of bias (GC3S, Nc and B). In keeping with observations on sporozoan parasites, codon usage bias was observed to be dependent on the overall base composition of the genes analysed, which in turn was reflected in the types of codons that were over or under-represented in the sequences.

Identification of Synonymous Codon Usage Bias in the Pseudorabies Virus UL31 Gene
Background: Little knowledge of synonymous codon usage pattern of pseudorabies virus (PRV) genome, especially the UL31 gene in the process for its evolution is available. Objectives: In the present study, the codon usage bias between PRV UL31 sequence and the UL31-like sequences was identified. Materials and Methods: We used a comprehensive analysi...
متن کاملCodon bias patterns in photosynthetic genes of halophytic grass Aeluropus littoralis
Codon bias refers to the differences in the frequency of occurrence of synonymous codons in coding DNA. Pattern of codon and optimum codon utilization is significantly different between the lives. This difference is due to the long term function of natural selection and evolution process. Genetics drift, mutation and regulation of gene expression are the main reasons for codon bias. In this stu...

متن کاملMutational Pressure Drives Evolution of Synonymous Codon Usage in Genetically Distinct Oenothera plastomes
Background: Most of the amino acids are encoded by more than one codon, termed as synonymous codons. Synonymous codon usage is not random as it is unique to species. In each amino acid family, some synonymous codons are preferred and this is referred to as synonymous codon usage bias (SCUB). Trends associated with evolution of SCUB and factors influencing its diversification in plastomes of gen...
متن کاملIntragenic spatial patterns of codon usage bias in prokaryotic and eukaryotic genomes.
To study the roles of translational accuracy, translational efficiency, and the Hill-Robertson effect in codon usage bias, we studied the intragenic spatial distribution of synonymous codon usage bias in four prokaryotic (Escherichia coli, Bacillus subtilis, Sulfolobus tokodaii, and Thermotoga maritima) and two eukaryotic (Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Drosophila melanogaster) genomes. We genera...
