Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Staphylococcus aureus causes a multiplicity of human diseases acquired in community and healthcare settings alike around the globe. While most studies focus on coding changes to assess genome evolution and study genetic adaptation, interrogation of silent mutations in the form of synonymous codon usage bias is less well-studied. As such, understanding of patterns in codon bias at the gene and genome...
