Abstract excerpt
Single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) is one of the core mechanisms that respond to antibiotic resistance of Escherichia coli (E. coli), which is a major issue in environmental pollution. A specific type of SNPs, synonymous SNPs, have been generally considered as the "silent" SNPs since they do not change the encoded amino acid. However, the impact of synonymous SNPs on mRNA splicing, nucleo-cytoplasmic export,...
