The bacteria species Orientia tsutsugamushi has been well-characterized by the work of Salje et al. In this paper, I provided an analysis of the codon content of various groups of genes within the genome of O. tsutsugamushi, and demonstrated the lack of optimality for translation speed in this species compared to other well understand bacteria.

The unexpected enrichment in the usage of certain synonymous codons is known as the codon usage bias. In this paper, we examine the relative importance of various elements of the translation process, including wobble pairing, which may contribute to the choice of synonymous codon in the context of a mutation-selection population genetics model.

Forward scattering of ionization from noble gases in ultrahigh intensities of 2×1019 W/cm2 is investigated. The observed strongly forward scattered photoionization is in agreement with classical field scattering employing the full nonparaxial laser field. Show more
