Elucidation of Codon Usage Signatures across the Domains of Life

TL;DR: It is shown that a single amino acid, arginine, is the major contributor to codon usage bias differences across domains of life and that domain-specific codon bias signatures can be used to classify a given sequence into its corresponding domain of life with high accuracy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Evolution at the Subgene Level: Domain Rearrangements in the Drosophila Phylogeny

TL;DR: It is found that genes involved in fusion and fission are enriched in signaling and development, suggesting that domain rearrangements and reuse may be crucial in these processes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Evolutionary Dynamics of Abundant Stop Codon Readthrough

TL;DR: In this paper, comparative genomic evidence across 21 Anopheles mosquitoes and 20 Drosophila species was used to identify evolutionary signatures of conserved, functional readthrough of 353 stop codons.

Improved gene tree error correction in the presence of horizontal gene transfer

TL;DR: In this article, a statistical hypothesis testing framework (Shimodaira-Hasegawa test) was proposed to balance sequence likelihood with topological information from a known species tree.
