Clupeoid fish can be considered excellent candidates to understand the role of mitochondrial DNA in adaptive evolution, as they have colonized different habitats (marine, brackish, freshwater, ...

We demonstrate the use of the Chlamydomonas chloroplast genome as a synthetic biology platform to test radical compression of the universal genetic code. Genome engineering was used to generate ...

Genetic code of an organism is not cast in stone. There are many exceptions to the standard codon table. Pawan Kumar Dhar reviews recent work to find that it is possible to plug in synthetic amino ...
