Codon usage bias refers to differences in the frequency of occurrence of synonymous codons in coding DNA. A codon is a series of three nucleotides (a...

of codons, also known as codon usage bias, can vary from species to species with functional implications for the control of translation. The codon varies...

The Codon Adaptation Index (CAI) is the most widespread technique for analyzing codon usage bias. As opposed to other measures of codon usage bias, such...

organisms, from bacteria through animals, display biased use of certain synonymous codons. Such codon usage bias may arise for different reasons, some selective...

rare codon can affect the timing of translation, and in turn the co-translational folding of the protein. This is reflected in the codon usage bias that...

Effective number of codons (abbreviated as ENC or Nc) is a measure to study the state of codon usage biases in genes and genomes. The way that ENC is...

at the third position, although codon usage bias restricts this in practice in many organisms; twofold degenerate codons can withstand silence mutation...

modifications is also seen in codon usage bias. Highly expressed genes seem to be enriched in codons that are exclusively using codons that will be decoded by...

compositionally driven, synonymous codon-usage bias affects the nucleotide topology. As substitutions between serine codon families can proceed through threonine...

representations. Interestingly, each codon for an amino acid is not used in equal proportions. This is called codon-usage bias (CUB). When k = 3, a distinction...
