Abstract excerpt
Five annotated genomes of Mycoplasma hyorhinis were analyzed for clarifying evolutionary dynamics driving the overall codon usage pattern. Information entropy used for estimating nucleotide usage pattern at the gene level indicates that multiple evolutionary dynamics participate in forcing nucleotide usage bias at every codon position. Moreover, nucleotide usage bias directly contributes to synonymous codon usage...
