Genome-wide analysis on the maize genome reveals weak selection on synonymous mutations.

BMC genomics - 29 Apr 2020

Chu Duan, Wei Lai

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Synonymous mutations are able to change the tAI (tRNA adaptation index) of a codon and consequently affect the local translation rate. Intuitively, one may hypothesize that those synonymous mutations which increase the tAI values are favored by natural selection. RESULTS: We use the maize (Zea mays) genome to test our assumption. The first supporting evidence is that the tAI-increasing synonymous...
