The genetic code is degenerate i.e. more than one codon can code for a single amino acid. Due to this, of the 64 codons, 61 codons code for the 20 amino acids.

To overcome the inherent challenge of translation termination interference caused by stop codon reprogramming in mammalian cells, researchers from Peking University led by Chen Peng from College of ...

The genetic code consists of 64 triplets of nucleotides called codons, with each codon, except 3, encoding one of the 20 amino acids. There is some redundancy in the code as most of the amino ...

This experiment demonstrated that messenger RNA transcribes genetic information from DNA, regulating the assembly of amino acids into complex proteins. Nirenberg would go on to decipher the code by ...
