Discover the unique genetic code of Euplotes crassus, where a single codon can represent two amino acids, challenging universal genetics. Living things, from bacteria to humans, depend on a workforce ...
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 ...

New chemistry hints the first genetic code wasn’t built from the same 20 amino acids
The traditional explanation of the initial genetic code in life seems less established when ancient proteins seem to be ...
There are 20 canonical amino acids that are encoded by the genetic code of nearly all known organisms - there are only very few exceptions. In order to add novel building blocks to this existing ...
Living things, from bacteria to humans, depend on a workforce of proteins to carry out essential tasks within their cells. Proteins are chains of amino acids that are strung together according to ...
