Viral adaption of staphylococcal phage: A genome-based analysis of the selective preference based on codon usage Bias.

Abstract excerpt

Given the high therapeutic value of the staphylococcal phage, the genome co-evolution of the phage and the host has gained great attention. Though the genome-wide AT richness in staphylococcal phages has been well-studied with nucleotide usage bias, here we proved that host factor, lifestyle and taxonomy are also important factors in understanding the phage nucleotide usages bias using information entropy...
