Codon Usage Optimization in the Prokaryotic Tree of Life: How Synonymous Codons Are Differentially Selected in Sequence Domains with Different Expression Levels and Degrees of Conservation
The prokaryotic genomes—the current heritage of the most ancient life forms on earth—are comprised of diverse gene sets, all characterized by varied origins, ancestries, and spatial-temporal expression patterns. Such genetic diversity has for a long time raised the question of how cells shape their...
