A codon chart is a visual representation that maps each of the 64 codons to their corresponding amino acids or signals. There ...

should be read in translation as two alternating codons, GUG and UGU, thus encoding a protein of two alternating amino acids. Translation of the artificial GUGU mRNA yielded a protein of ...

Of these 64 codons, 61 represent amino acids, and three are stop signals. Although each codon is specific for only one amino acid (or one stop signal), the genetic code is described as degenerate ...

Synthetic biologists from Yale were able to re-write the genetic code of an organism — a novel genomically recoded organism ...

Synthetic biologists repurposed rarely used codons to install novel amino acids into proteins and expand the capabilities of protein engineering. Kamal is a freelance science journalist based in the ...
