Codon usage similarity between viral and some host genes suggests a codon-specific translational regulation
1 May 2020
Abstract excerpt
The codon usage pattern is a specific characteristic of each species; however, the codon usage of all of the genes in a genome is not uniform. Intriguingly, most viruses have codon usage patterns that are vastly different from the optimal codon usage of their hosts. How viral genes with different codon usage patterns are efficiently expressed during a viral infection is unclear. An analysis of the similarity...
