Nucleotide Composition and Codon Usage Across Viruses and Their Respective Hosts

Nucleotide Composition and Codon Usage Across Viruses and Their Respective Hosts

The genetic material of the three domains of life (Bacteria, Archaea, and Eukaryota) is always double-stranded DNA, and their GC content (molar content of guanine plus cytosine) varies between ≈ 13% and ≈ 75%. Nucleotide composition is the simplest way of characterizing genomes. Despite this simplic...
