    Snippet: Codon adaptation index CAI [? ] is used to quantify the codon usage similarities between the virus and host coding sequences. The principle behind CAI is that codon usage in highly expressed genes can reveal the optimal (i.e., most efficient for translation) codons for each amino acid. Hence, CAI is calculated based on a reference set of highly expressed genes to assess, for each codon i, the relative synonymous codon usages (RSCU i ) and the rel.....
