Analysis of codon usage bias in the mitochondrial genome of Pleurozia purpurea by Mengxue DU, Xin ZHANG, Jie GAO, Sheng BI, Jiewei HAO, Lina ZHANG

“…The results show that: 1) A total of 31 protein-coding sequences are identified from the mitochondrial genome of Pleurozia purpurea, with an average GC content of 38.17% and a GC content of 32.28% for the third base of codons, respectively. The average values for ENC and CAI are 50.29 and 0.17, indicating a preference for codons ending with A/U bases and a relatively weak CUB; 2) ENC exhibits significantly positive correlations with GCall, GC3, and the length of amino acid encoding genes, indicating significant influences of GC content and gene length on CUB; 3) Analyses including neutrality plot, ENC-plot and PR2-plot indicate that mutation pressure and natural selection jointly shaped the CUB, with mutation being the most important influencing factor; 4) A total of 23 optimal codons are selected, most of which end with A/U. …”
