Synonymous mutations that regulate translation speed might play a non-negligible role in liver cancer development
Abstract Background Synonymous mutations do not change the protein sequences. Automatically, they have been regarded as neutral events and are ignored in the mutation-based cancer studies. However, synonymous mutations will change the codon optimality, resulting in altered translational velocity. Me...
