Biology:Enterosoma genetic code

From HandWiki
Short description: Unique genetic code demonstrated by Shulgina and Eddy 2021 but not currently listed at NCBI


The Enterosoma genetic code (tentative code number 34) translates AGG to methionine, as determined by the codon assignment software Codetta;[1] it was further shown that this recoding is associated with a special tRNA with the appropriate anticodon and tRNA identity elements. The code is found in a small clade of species within the Enterosoma genus, according to the GTDB taxonomy system [2] release 220. Codetta called the Enterosoma code for the following genome assemblies: GCA_002431755.1, GCA_002439645.1, GCA_002436825.1, GCA_002451385.1, GCA_002297105.1, GCA_002297045.1, GCA_002404995.1, and GCA_900549915.1.
