The evolutionary dynamics of tRNA-gene copy number and codon-use in E. coli.

BACKGROUND: The introduction of foreign DNA by Lateral Gene Transfer (LGT) can quickly and drastically alter genome composition. Problems can arise if the genes introduced by LGT use codons that are not suited to the host’s translational machinery. Here we investigate compensatory adaptation of E. c...
