A little guide for advanced search:

  • Tip 1. You can use quotes "" to search for an exact expression.
    Example: "cell division"
  • Tip 2. You can use + symbol to restrict results containing all words.
    Example: +cell +stem
  • Tip 3. You can use + and - symbols to force inclusion or exclusion of specific words.
    Example: +cell -stem
e.g. searching for members in projects tagged cancer

About

The canonical genetic code contains 61 sense and 3 nonsense (stop) codons. Although it is almost universal, about 60 different genetic code variants have been described so far. Majority of these alterations evolved in protists, with ciliates being their most frequent bearers. I will describe general reasons behind the alterations of genetic code, and what is known about the reassignment of all three stop codons into sense codons in the trypanosomatid flagellate Blastocrithidia. I will also try to draw some conclusions that may be of wider importance for our understanding of genetic codes.
