Codon usage bias

Sujatha Thankeswaran Parvathy et al.

Summary: Codon usage bias is a common phenomenon observed in bacteria, plants, and animals, with consistent and characteristic patterns across different species and genes. The formation of codon bias is influenced by factors such as genome composition, gene expression levels, and gene length. Understanding codon usage bias can provide insights into phylogenetic relationships and gene evolution among organisms.

Molecular dynamics simulation guided distal mutation of Thermotoga naphthophila β-glucosidase for significantly enhanced synthesis of galactooligosaccharides and expanded product scope

Jiabao Lyu et al.

Summary: By introducing the glycone/aglycone subsite mutation strategy, the production of health-beneficial galactooligosaccharides was enhanced using a thermophilic GH1 beta-glucosidase (Tn0602). The additional F226G/F414S mutation significantly increased GOS production by 2.7-fold compared to the wild type.

When a Synonymous Variant Is Nonsynonymous

Mauno Vihinen

Summary: Term synonymous variation is widely used, but often incorrectly, misleadingly, or for variations that have phenotypic and functional effects. A new terminology and nomenclature system is proposed to accurately communicate variations that may seem synonymous but actually have phenotypes. The misannotation of variations as synonymous causes problems in clinical genetics and disease diagnosis.

Effects of Synonymous Mutations beyond Codon Bias: The Evidence for Adaptive Synonymous Substitutions from Microbial Evolution Experiments

Susan F. Bailey et al.

Summary: Synonymous mutations are not always neutral, as they can drive adaptive evolution through impacts on gene expression and protein folding. Site-directed mutagenesis experiments show that the fitness effects of synonymous mutations are more similar to nonsynonymous mutations, especially for beneficial mutations. Experimental evolution studies also demonstrate that synonymous mutations can impact fitness through various mechanisms beyond just being neutral.
