Codon usage bias and dinucleotide preference in 29 <i>Drosophila</i> species
AbstractCodon usage bias, where certain codons are used more frequently than their synonymous counterparts, is an interesting phenomenon influenced by three evolutionary forces: mutation, selection, and genetic drift. To better understand how these evolutionary forces affect codon usage bias, an ext...
