Comparative analysis of codon usage bias revealed natural selection-driven evolution and host adaptation of infectious haematopoietic necrosis virus
Abstract The infectious haematopoietic necrosis virus (IHNV) is an important threat for global salmonid aquaculture, particularly Oncorhynchus mykiss. Understanding molecular mechanisms of evolution and host adaptation is crucial. This study comparatively analyses codon usage bias (CUB) between IHNV genotypes and their...
