Molecular evolution of synonymous codon usage in Populus.

BMC evolutionary biology - 4 Nov 2008

Ingvarsson Pär K

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Evolution of synonymous codon usage is thought to be determined by a balance between mutation, genetic drift and natural selection on translational efficiency. However, natural selection on codon usage is considered to be a weak evolutionary force and selection on codon usage is expected to be strongest in species with large effective population sizes. RESULTS: I examined the evolution of synonymous...
