The effect of multiple evolutionary selections on synonymous codon usage of genes in the Mycoplasma bovis genome.

Mycoplasma bovis is a major pathogen causing arthritis, respiratory disease and mastitis in cattle. A better understanding of its genetic features and evolution might represent evidences of surviving host environments. In this study, multiple factors influencing synonymous codon usage patterns in M....
