Scientists have devised a codon that could help us understand how life forms in the oceans form.They have used the codon to show that many living things in the ocean have a common ancestor, suggesting that organisms that evolve by changing their genetic code are more similar to each other than is previously thought.Codon theory…

The codon-based definitions of the names of proteins in living cells
article The codons that form the genetic code of all living things have been the subject of much speculation and controversy since the first known example was found in the bacterium Escherichia coli.Now a new paper suggests that the codons are not the same as the amino acids that make up proteins, but instead are…
