  1. ...the frequency of optimal codons correlates with gene expression to quantify the intensity of translational selection (S). We observed that few metazoans show clear signs of translational selection. As predicted by the nearly neutral theory, the highest values of S are observed in species with large effective...
  2. ...protein-coding sequences in the human . This map is generally consistent with previous inferences of the bulk distribution of fitness effects but reveals pervasive weak negative selection against synonymous mutations. In addition, the estimated selection coefficients are highly predictive of inherited...
  3. ...of completely sequenced s, the large majority of which (>90%) originate from prokaryotes (Reddy et al. 2015). The accurate annotation of all protein-coding genes (interchangeably used with CDSs from here on) is essential to exploit this genomic information at multiple levels: from small, focused experiments, up...
  4. ...amino acid sequence can be encoded by many different DNA sequences. A recent study even suggested that the genetic code is nearly optimal for accommodating additional information (Itzkovitz and Alon 2007). Several studies highlighted measures of information content that are unique to the protein-coding...
  5. ..., Brendstrupgaardsvej 100, DK-8200 Aarhus N, Denmark. Abstract The degeneracy of the genetic code allows protein-coding DNA and RNA sequences to simultaneously encode additional, overlapping functional elements. A sequence in which both protein-coding and additional overlapping functions have evolved under...
  6. ...regulatory sequences lie within protein-coding sequences, a major challenge is to understand how coding sequences accommodate this overlapping layer of information (Itzkovitz et al. 2010; Lin et al. 2011; Savisaar and Hurst 2017a,b). To date, a general assumption is that protein-coding sequences can...
  7. ...removed. Here we fit a detailed model of human demography that incorporates divergence, migration, admixture, and changes in population size to directly sequenced data from 13,400 protein coding genes from 20 European-American and 19 African-American individuals. Based on this demographic model, we use...
  8. ...for their motifs along the sequence and output a matrix with a row for every filter and column for every position in the sequence (Fig. 1). Computing nonlinear functions of the information flowing through the network allows for more expressive models. In each convolution layer, we apply a rectifier operation (i...
  9. ...selection. ( C ) Nonsense mutation in (the sequenced strain of) D. melanogaster . Reading frame of translation In addition to locating protein-coding regions, the comparative information reveals the reading frame of translation under purifying selection, since the signature of codon substitution frequencies...
  10. ...of the standard models adapted for protein coding regions. By comparing the results of the computer simulation with the results of the analyses of natural sequences, one can get useful information about the nature of repeat generation in protein coding regions. The protein coding regions represent an essentially...
