Evolutionary analysis of the ubiquitin gene of baculovirus and insect hosts

S. S. Ma, Zhang, Z., Xia, H. C., Chen, L., Yang, Y. H., Yao, Q., and Chen, K. P., Evolutionary analysis of the ubiquitin gene of baculovirus and insect hosts, vol. 14, pp. 9963-9973, 2015.

Baculovirus is the only virus that has been found to encode the ubiquitin protein. In this study, ubiquitin sequences from 16 insects and 49 viruses were collected and compared. The resulting sequences were aligned with virus genomes. Then MAGE 5.0, k-estimated software, as well as other software programs were used for systemic evolutionary, selection pressure, and evolutionary distance analysis.
