Degeneracy in the genetic code implies that different codons can encode the same amino acid. Usage preference of synonymous codons has been observed in all domains of life. There is much evidence suggesting that this bias ...

Background: Synonymous codons are used differentially in organisms from the three domains of life, a phenomenon referred to as codon usage bias. In addition, codon pair bias, particularly in the 3' codon context, has also ...

Ceriporiopsis subvermispora is a white-rot fungus with a high specificity towards lignin mineralization when colonizing dead wood or lignocellulosic compounds. Its lignocellulose degrading system is formed by cellulose ...

Background: For a long time synonymous single nucleotide polymorphisms were considered as silent mutations. However, nowadays it is well known that they can affect protein conformation and function, leading to altered ...

Gonzalo Moratorio works in the field of experimental evolution of vi-ruses. In this mSphere of Influence article, he reflects on how the papers “Virus at-tenuation by genome-scale changes in codon pair bias” by Coleman et ...
