Analysis of Codon Usage Bias in the Platycarya Chloroplast Genome
2021
To detect the codon usage characteristics of chloroplast genomes in Platycarya genus, the CodonW 、 CUSP and SPSSAU software were employed to analyze the codon usage patterns of the chloroplast genomes protein-coding sequence in Platycarya longipes and Platycarya strobilacea in this research. Results show that the GC content of chloroplast genomes was 37.75% and 37.80%, the average GC content in the 3rd position was 27.16% and 27.25%. the range of effective codon number from 35.19 to 56.98, and there were more than 2/3 genes when ENC value greater than 45, which indicated a weak preference. According to the results of neutrality plot analysis, ENC-plot analysis and PR2-plot analysis, codon bias in most Platycarya chloroplast genes were affected by natural selection, while a few were affected by mutations or other factors. And based on the ENC value, five groups of high-expressed and low-expressed genes were identified, 16 codons were ended with A/U among the 18 optimal codons. The research has implications on codon optimization, enhancing the expression efficiency of exogenous gene and phylogenetic analysis.
