Identification of a non-canonical ciliate nuclear genetic code where UAA and UAG code for different amino acids.

Identification of a non-canonical ciliate nuclear genetic code where UAA and UAG code for different amino acids.

The genetic code is one of the most highly conserved features across life. Only a few lineages have deviated from the "universal" genetic code. Amongst the few variants of the genetic code reported to date, the codons UAA and UAG virtually always have the same translation, suggesting that...
