Evolutionary basis of codon usage and nucleotide composition bias in vertebrate DNA viruses.

Journal of molecular evolution - 1 May 2006

Shackelton Laura A, Parrish Colin R, Holmes Edward C

Abstract excerpt

Understanding the extent and causes of biases in codon usage and nucleotide composition is essential to the study of viral evolution, particularly the interplay between viruses and host cells or immune responses. To understand the common features and differences among viruses we analyzed the genomic characteristics of a representative collection of all sequenced vertebrate-infecting DNA viruses. This revealed...
