Abstract
Aim:
The aim of the present study was to understand the molecular relationship
between nematode (parasite) and fish (host) through codon usage bias (CUB)
analysis.
Methodology: The Codon usage bias analysis has been performed in
fish Carassius gibelio (Prussian carp) and nematode fish parasite Anisakis
simplex. The complete coding sequences (CDS) of C. gibelio
(Prussian carp) and A. simplex (Nematode) were retrieved from National
Center for Biotechnology Information and followed to that we have performed
bioinformatics analysis to understand the codon usage pattern between host
and parasite.
Results:
Different CUB indices like Relative synonymous codon usage (RSCU), Effective
number of codons (ENC), Codon adaptation index (CAI) and Codon bias index
(CBI) revealed a similar pattern in the codon usage in C. gibelio and A.
simplex. In addition, inclusive analysis using different plots (ENC,
parity, neutrality) had shown the influence of both the evolutionary forces i.e
mutational and translational selection on codon usage pattern. This describes
the role of evolutionary forces in determining the conserved genome to
establish species-specific function-level differences for efficient survival.
Interpretation: The present study elucidated the
association between Carassiusgibelio (host) and Anisakis simplex
(parasite) based on the similar pattern of codon usage bias between both the
species.
