Abstract excerpt
There has been an increase in the reported number of animals worldwide that carry the hepatitis E virus (HEV). This study aimed to explore potential animal hosts for HEV through codon usage analysis. Full-length HEV sequences of six genotypes as well as codon usage of potential animal hosts were collected. Moreover, nucleotide composition and codon usage bias were compared across HEV genotypes and animal hosts....
