This study analyzes the temporal evolution of SARS-CoV-2 codon usage across 134,905 genomes, finding divergence in genes N and S with more optimized codon usage for human hosts.

This study analyzes codon usage and evolutionary rates of 2019-nCoV genes compared to other coronaviruses, finding differences in mutational bias and selection pressures across gene types.

The paper investigates codon usage bias in radioresistant bacteria and finds a strong G/C bias in third codon positions and co-evolution of tRNA gene copies with codon bias.
