Base Composition and Translational Selection are Insufficient to Explain Codon Usage Bias in Plant Viruses

Base Composition and Translational Selection are Insufficient to Explain Codon Usage Bias in Plant Viruses

Viral codon usage bias may be the product of a number of synergistic or antagonistic factors, including genomic nucleotide composition, translational selection, genomic architecture, and mutational or repair biases. Most studies of viral codon bias evaluate only the relative importance of genomic ba...
