Blastocrithidia nuclear code
Nuclear genetic code in some flagellates
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Blastocrithidia nuclear code (translation table 31) is a genetic code used by the nuclear genome of the trypanosomatid genus Blastocrithidia.[1] This code, along with translation tables 27 and 28, is remarkable in that every one of the 64 possible codons can be a sense codon.[1]
