Abstract excerpt
In this study, we perform a systematic analysis of evolutionary forces (i.e., mutational bias and natural selection) that shape the codon usage bias of human genes encoding proteins characterized by different flavors of intrinsic disorder. Well-structured proteins are expected to be more under control by purifying natural selection than intrinsically disordered proteins because one or few mutations (even...
