Abstract excerpt
A universal phenomenon of using synonymous codons unequally in coding sequences known as codon usage bias (CUB) is observed in all forms of life. Mutation and natural selection drive CUB in many species but the relative role of evolutionary forces varies across species, genes and genomes. We studied the CUB in mitochondrial (mt) CO genes from three orders of Amphibia using bioinformatics approach as no work was...
