Analysis of the optimality of the standard genetic code.

Molecular bioSystems - 19 Jul 2016

Kumar Balaji, Saini Supreet

Abstract excerpt

Many theories have been proposed attempting to explain the origin of the genetic code. While strong reasons remain to believe that the genetic code evolved as a frozen accident, at least for the first few amino acids, other theories remain viable. In this work, we test the optimality of the standard genetic code against approximately 17 million genetic codes, and locate 29 which outperform the standard genetic...
