Old genes experience stronger translational selection than young genes.

Gene - 15 Sept 2016

Yin Hongyan, Ma Lina, Wang Guangyu, Li Mengwei, Zhang Zhang

Abstract excerpt

Selection on synonymous codon usage for translation efficiency and/or accuracy has been identified as a widespread mechanism in many living organisms. However, it remains unknown whether translational selection associates closely with gene age and acts differentially on genes with different evolutionary ages. To address this issue, here we investigate the strength of translational selection acting on different...
