Alterations to the standard genetic code have been found in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes. This finding demolished the central dogma of molecular biology, postulated by Crick in 1968, of an immutable and universal genetic code and raised the question of how organisms survive genetic code alterations? Recent studies suggest that genetic code alterations are driven by selection using a mechanism that requires...
