The genetic code is the recipe for life, and provides the instructions for how to make proteins, generally using just 20 amino acids. But certain groups of microbes have an expanded genetic code, in ...

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, Vol. 118, No. 36 (September 7, 2021), pp. 1-10 (10 pages) Minimally evolved codes are constructed here; these have ...

An international team led by Monash University researchers has uncovered the genetic code governing the way genetic mutations affect mRNA and result in disease. This breakthrough, detailed in a new ...

Genetic code of an organism is not cast in stone. There are many exceptions to the standard codon table. Pawan Kumar Dhar reviews recent work to find that it is possible to plug in synthetic amino ...

There are many variations in the genetic code, both in nuclear and mitochondrial genomes, but all are relatively recent modifications of the 'canonical' code found in the last common ancestor. The ...

I know, I know—there appear to be a million codon table apps out there. However, I give the Genetic Code app by iVanta credit for its many graphical representations of codons. Users can view the codon ...
