How does the DNA code influence what a cell is to become? The answer lies in the degenerate triplet code. Alison Woollard decodes a DNA sequence into amino acids, showing how each group of three DNA letters, the codon, gives a single amino acid. The fully decoded sequence represents possible amino acids, but amongst this are two sentences representing two protein-coding genes.
Keywords: genetic code, amino acids, proteins, triplet code, codon
