Lost in translation: conserved amino acid usage despite extreme codon bias in foraminifera

Lost in translation: conserved amino acid usage despite extreme codon bias in foraminifera

ABSTRACT Analyses of codon usage in eukaryotes suggest that amino acid usage responds to GC pressure so AT-biased substitutions drive higher usage of amino acids with AT-ending codons. Here, we combine single-cell transcriptomics and phylogenomics to explore codon usage patterns in foraminifera, a d...
