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 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. …”
