Abstract excerpt
Publication of the complete genome sequence for the Acanthamoeba sp. endosymbiont UWE25 has illuminated the evolution history of chlamydiae. In this study, the codon usage bias in UWE25 and five other species of pathogenic chlamydiae was calculated. It was found that genomic composition constraints are the major source of codon usage variation in UWE25. This result is different from the former observation in...
