Specifically, the researchers eliminated two of the three stop codons that terminate protein production. The recoded genome reassigned four codons to non-degenerate functions, including the two ...

The codons UAA, UAG, and UGA are the stop codons that signal the termination of translation. Figure 2 shows the 64 codon combinations and the amino acids or stop signals they specify. As ...

During protein formation, DNA (or RNA) nucleotide sequences are read three nucleotides at a time in units called codons, and each codon corresponds to a specific amino acid or stop signal (stop ...
