Compositional Analysis of Flatworm Genomes Shows Strong Codon Usage Biases Across All Classes

Compositional Analysis of Flatworm Genomes Shows Strong Codon Usage Biases Across All Classes

In the present work, we performed a comparative genome-wide analysis of 22 species representative of the main clades and lifestyles of the phylum Platyhelminthes. We selected a set of 700 orthologous genes conserved in all species, measuring changes in GC content, codon, and amino acid usage in orth...
