Abstract excerpt
To give a new perspective on the codon usage of the hepatitis C virus (HCV) and the factors accounting for shaping the codon usage pattern of the virus, the relative synonymous codon usage (RSCU) values, aromaticity and hydrophobicity of each polyprotein of the virus, effective number of codons (ENC) values and nucleotide contents were calculated to implement a comparative analysis to evaluate the dynamics of the...
