How mitochondria redefine the code.

Journal of molecular evolution - 1 Jan 2000

Knight R D, Landweber L F, Yarus M

Abstract excerpt

Annotated, complete DNA sequences are available for 213 mitochondrial genomes from 132 species. These provide an extensive sample of evolutionary adjustment of codon usage and meaning spanning the history of this organelle. Because most known coding changes are mitochondrial, such data bear on the general mechanism of codon reassignment. Coding changes have been attributed variously to loss of codons due to...
