Genome-wide selection on codon usage at the population level in the fungal model organism Neurospora crassa.

Abstract excerpt

Many organisms exhibit biased codon usage in their genome, including the fungal model organism Neurospora crassa. The preferential use of subset of synonymous codons (optimal codons) at the macroevolutionary level is believed to result from a history of selection to promote translational efficiency. At present, few data are available about selection on optimal codons at the microevolutionary scale, that is, at...
