Selection-driven cost-efficiency optimization of transcripts modulates gene evolutionary rate in bacteria
Abstract Background Most amino acids are encoded by multiple synonymous codons. However, synonymous codons are not used equally, and this biased codon use varies between different organisms. It has previously been shown that both selection acting to increase codon translational efficiency and select...
