Attenuation of a very virulent Marek's disease herpesvirus (MDV) by codon pair bias deoptimization.
Codon pair bias deoptimization (CPBD) has enabled highly efficient and rapid attenuation of RNA viruses. The technique relies on recoding of viral genes by increasing the number of codon pairs that are statistically underrepresented in protein coding genes of the viral host without changing the amin...
