On the origin of the genetic code: a 27-codon hypothetical precursor of an intricate 64-codon intermediate shaped the modern code

The modern genetic code reveals numerous traces of specific relationships between the early codons which, together with its internal asymmetries, suggest a sequential appearance of the nucleobases in primitive RNA molecules. Keeping the hypothesis of triplet pairings between primitive RNA molecules...
