Abstract excerpt
The preferential use of a specific codon, out of a group of synonymous codons encoding the same amino acid, in a gene transcript results from the bias in codon choice. Various evolutionary forces namely mutation pressure and natural selection influence the pattern of codon usage i.e. distinct for each gene/genome. We investigated the pattern of codon usage of eight human herpesvirus genomes and compared them with...
