Article Synopsis
- Codon usage bias (CUB) is the varying frequency of different codon usage in genomes, impacting our understanding of genome structure, function, and evolution.*
-
- This study analyzed codon usage patterns in chloroplast genomes of four sister genera from the Zingiberaceae family with different habitats in southwestern China, revealing a strong link between codon usage and environmental adaptation, especially in genes related to photosynthesis.*
-
- Findings indicated that natural selection significantly shapes CUB, with specific codons favored in certain conditions, suggesting a role in regulating gene expression, and highlighted a connection between RNA editing and CUB, opening avenues for further research on adaptive evolution.*
