Abstract excerpt
In this study, the relative synonymous codon usage (RSCU) values, effective number of codon (ENC) values, nucleotide contents, and dinucleotide were used to investigate codon usage pattern of each protein-coding gene and genome among 31 Newcastle disease virus (NDV) isolates. The result shows that the overall extent of codon usage bias in NDV is low (mean ENC = 56.15 > 40). The good correlation between the...
