Genetic code. The genetic code is the set of rules by which information encoded in genetic material (DNA or RNA sequences) is translated into proteins (amino acid sequences) by living cells. Specifically, the code defines a mapping between tri-nucleotide sequences called codons and amino acids; every triplet of nucleotides in a nucleic acid sequence specifies a single amino acid.
Each amino acid is encoded by one. or several triplets of bases (codons), e.g. UUU or UUC for the amino acid phenylanine, termination of translation by the triplets UAG, UAA or UGA and initiation of translation mainly. by AUG, also encoding the amino acid methionine (Nirenberg et al., 1965; Soll et al., 1965).
