Co-evolution between Codon Usage and Protein-Protein Interaction in Bacteria
Maddalena Dilucca, Giulio Cimini, Sergio Forcelloni +1
We study the correlation between the codon usage bias of genetic sequences and the network features of protein-protein interaction (PPI) in bacterial species. We use PCA techniques…
Bacterial protein interaction networks: connectivity is ruled by gene conservation, essentiality and function
Maddalena Dilucca, Giulio Cimini, Andrea Giansanti
Protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks are the backbone of all processes in living cells. In this work we relate conservation, essentiality and functional repertoire of a gene…
Essentiality, conservation, evolutionary pressure and codon bias in bacterial genes
Maddalena Dilucca, Giulio Cimini, Andrea Giansanti
Essential genes constitute the core of genes which cannot be mutated too much nor lost along the evolutionary history of a species. Natural selection is expected to be stricter on…
Codon Bias Patterns of 's Interacting Proteins
Maddalena Dilucca, Giulio Cimini, Andrea Semmoloni +2
Synonymous codons, i.e., DNA nucleotide triplets coding for the same amino acid, are used differently across the variety of living organisms. The biological meaning of this phenome…
