Significant differences in terms of codon usage bias between bacteriophage early and late genes: a comparative genomics analysis

Abstract Background Viruses undergo extensive evolutionary selection for efficient replication which effects, among others, their codon distribution. In the current study, we aimed at understanding the way evolution shapes the codon distribution in early vs. late viral genes in terms of their expres...
