| Abstract: | Transposable elements (TEs) are mobile genetic entities ubiquitously distributed in nearly all genomes.High frequency of codons ending in A/T in TEs has been previously observed in some species.In this study,the biases in nucleotide composition and codon usage of TE transposases and host nuclear genes were investigated in the AT-rich genome of Arabidopsis thaliana and the GC-rich genome of Oryza sativa.Codons ending in A/T are more frequently used by TEs compared with their host nuclear genes.A remarkable p... |
