Analysis of codon usage patterns in citrus based on coding sequence data.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Codon usage is an important determinant of gene expression levels that can help us understand codon biology, evolution and mRNA translation of species. The majority of previous codon usage studies have focused on single species analysis, although few studies have focused on the species within the same genus. In this study, we proposed a multispecies codon usage analysis workflow to reveal the genetic features and correlation in citrus.

Results

Our codon usage analysis workflow was based on the GC content, GC plot, and relative synonymous codon usage value of each codon in 8 citrus species. This approach allows for the comparison of codon usage bias of different citrus species. Next, we performed cluster analysis and obtained an overview of the relationship in citr
