Viral codon fitness (VCF) of the host and the VCF shifting has seldom been studied under quantitative measurements, although they could be concepts vital to understand pathogen epidemiology. This study demonstrates that the relative synonymous codon ...
Degeneracy in the genetic code allows many possible DNA sequences to encode the same protein. Optimizing codon usage within a sequence to meet organism-specific preferences faces combinatorial explosion. Nevertheless, natural sequences optimized thro...
Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play crucial roles in numerous biological processes and are involved in complex human diseases through interactions with proteins. Accurate identification of lncRNA-protein interactions (LPI) can help elucidate the func...

Codon usage bias (CUB), the uneven usage of synonymous codons encoding the same amino acid, differs among genes within and across bacteria genomes. CUB is known to be influenced by gene expression and accordingly, CUB differs between the high-express...
Translation elongation is essential for maintaining cellular proteostasis, and alterations in the translational landscape are associated with a range of diseases. Ribosome profiling allows detailed measurements of translation at the genome scale. How...
In this study, we investigate how an organism's codon usage bias can serve as a predictor and classifier of various genomic and evolutionary traits across the domains of life. We perform secondary analysis of existing genetic datasets to build severa...

The effect of mutations has been traditionally predicted by studying what may happen due to the substitution of one amino acid for another one. This approach may be effective for mutations with impact in the function of the protein, but ineffective f...

Unequal usage of synonymous codons is known as codon usage bias (CUB), which is generally different between the high-expression genes (HEG) and low-expression genes (LEG) in organisms is not yet adequately reported across different bacteria. In this ...

Codon optimization of a DNA sequence can significantly increase efficiency of protein expression, reducing the cost to manufacture biologic pharmaceuticals. Although directed methods based on such factors as codon usage bias and GC nucleotide content...
MHC-I associated peptides (MAPs) play a central role in the elimination of virus-infected and neoplastic cells by CD8 T cells. However, accurately predicting the MAP repertoire remains difficult, because only a fraction of the transcriptome generates...
