Abstract excerpt
The codon usage bias and the base composition variations in the available 12 complete iridovirus genome sequences have been investigated. We re-evaluated the number of open reading frames (ORFs) in each published iridovirus genome and analyzed its correlation against the genome size. The result shows that there is a direct relationship between the number of ORFs and the genome size. The codon usage patterns of...
