Four novel alternative genetic codes were discovered in bacterial genomes by Shulgina and Eddy using their codon assignment software Codetta, and validated by analysis of tRNA anticodons and identity elements; [3] these codes are not currently adopted at NCBI, but are numbered here 34-37, and specified in the table below.

[21] [22] For example, in 1981, it was discovered that the use of codons AUA, UGA, AGA and AGG by the coding system in mammalian mitochondria differed from the universal code. [21] Stop codons can also be affected: in ciliated protozoa, the universal stop codons UAA and UAG code for glutamine. [22] [note 4] Four novel alternative genetic codes ...
The bacterial, archaeal and plant plastid code (translation table 11) is the DNA code used by bacteria, archaea, prokaryotic viruses and chloroplast proteins. It is essentially the same as the standard code , however there are some variations in alternative start codons .
Since then, many science fiction novels and films have used aspects of genetics as plot devices, often taking one of two routes: a genetic accident with disastrous consequences; or, the feasibility and desirability of a planned genetic alteration. The treatment of science in these stories has been uneven and often unrealistic.
MEGA offers support for modifying the genetic code used for translating DNA sequences. By default, MEGA has 23 built-in genetic code variations including the standard code, vertebrate mitochondrial code, Drosophila mitochondrial code, and yeast mitochondrial code. [12] Users may add, remove, or edit any genetic code table.
George Gamow suggested that the genetic code was made of three nucleotides per amino acid. He reasoned that because there are 20 amino acids and only four bases, the coding units could not be single (4 combinations) or pairs (only 16 combinations). Rather, he thought triplets (64 possible combinations) were the coding unit of the genetic code.
