Codon and amino acid usage in retroviral genomes is consistent with virus-specific nucleotide pressure

Retroviral RNA genomes are known to have a biased nucleotide composition. For instance, the plus-strand RNA of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is A-rich, and the genome of human T cell leukemia virus (HTLV) is C-rich, and other retroviruses have a U-rich or G-rich genome. The biased composition o...
