UNLABELLED Numerous software applications exist to deal with synthetic gene design, granting the field of heterologous expression a significant support. However, their dispersion requires the access to different tools and online services in order to complete one single project. Analyzing codon usage, calculating codon adaptation index (CAI), aligning orthologs and optimizing genes are just a fe...

In the present study, we examined GC nucleotide composition, relative synonymous codon usage (RSCU), effective number of codons (ENC), codon adaptation index (CAI) and gene length for 308 prokaryotic mechanosensitive ion channel (MSC) genes from six evolutionary groups: Euryarchaeota, Actinobacteria, Alphaproteobacteria, Betaproteobacteria, Firmicutes, and Gammaproteobacteria. Results showed th...

Rapid biosynthesis is key to the success of bacteria and viruses. Highly expressed genes in bacteria exhibit a strong codon bias corresponding to the differential availability of tRNAs. However, a large clade of lambdoid coliphages exhibits relatively poor codon adaptation to the host translation machinery, in contrast to other coliphages that exhibit strong codon adaptation to the host. Three ...

This data article contains data related to the article "Comparison of codon usage bias across Leishmania and Trypanosomatids to understand mRNA secondary structure, relative protein abundance and pathway functions" by Subramanian and Sarkar, Genomics, 2015 (10.1016/j.ygeno.2015.05.009). The data comprises of sequence-based measures that quantify the effect of codon usage across genomes. The dat...

background: epstein-barr virus (ebv) has a great co relationship with human malignancies such as gastric carcinoma. synonymous codon investigations in viruses could help designing vaccine, to generate immunity. codon adaptation index (cai) has measured translation elongation rate, among the highly expressed genes. the aim of this study was: usage of “cai” to measure translation efficiency to kn...

Mitogen activated protein kinase (MAPK) genes provide resistance to various biotic and abiotic stresses. Codon usage profiling of the genes reveals the characteristic features of the genes like nucleotide composition, gene expressivity, optimal codons etc. The present study is a comparative analysis of codon usage patterns for different MAPK genes in three organisms, viz. Arabidopsis thaliana, ...

Codon fitnesses for chloroplast genes were estimated using the relative synonymous codon use of psbA, which has a different pattern of codon use than other chloroplast genes and is the major translation product of the chloroplast. These estimates were used to calculate the codon adaptation index (CAI) of chloroplast genes from Marchantia polymorpha, Nicotiana tabacum, and Chlamydomonas reinhard...
