Evolutionary Pressures and Codon Bias in Low Complexity Regions of Plasmodia Parasites

2020-03-16

Abstract excerpt

One of the most debated topics in Evolutionary Biology concerns Low Complexity Regions of P. falciparum, the causative agent of the most virulent and deadly form of human malaria. In this work, we analysed the proteome of 22 plasmodium species including P. falciparum. SEG predicts that proteins containing Low Complexity Regions turn out to be longer than those which are predicted to be completely complex (without...
