  2. DNA and RNA codon tables - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNA_and_RNA_codon_tables

    A codon table can be used to translate a genetic code into a sequence of amino acids. [1] [2] The standard genetic code is traditionally represented as an RNA codon table, because when proteins are made in a cell by ribosomes, it is messenger RNA (mRNA) that directs protein synthesis. [2] [3] The mRNA sequence is determined by the sequence of ...

  3. List of genetic codes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_genetic_codes

    Four novel alternative genetic codes were discovered in bacterial genomes by Shulgina and Eddy using their codon assignment software Codetta, and validated by analysis of tRNA anticodons and identity elements; [3] these codes are not currently adopted at NCBI, but are numbered here 34-37, and specified in the table below. The standard code; The ...

  4. Circular DNA - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circular_DNA

    Circular DNA is DNA that forms a closed loop and has no ends. Examples include: Plasmids, mobile genetic elements; cccDNA, formed by some viruses inside cell nuclei; Circular bacterial chromosomes; Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) Chloroplast DNA (cpDNA), and that of other plastids; Extrachromosomal circular DNA (eccDNA)

  5. Template:Codon table - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Codon_table

    This is the standard or universal genetic code. This table is found in both DNA Codon Table and Genetic Code (And probably a few other places), so I'm pulling it out so it can be common. By default it's the DNA code (using the letter T for Thymine ); use template parameter "T=U" to make it the RNA code (using U for Uracil ).

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetic_code

    The genetic code is the set of rules used by living cells to ... The genetic code is highly similar among all organisms and can be expressed in a simple table with 64 ...

  7. Extrachromosomal circular DNA - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extrachromosomal_circular_DNA

    Extrachromosomal circular DNA (eccDNA) is a type of double-stranded circular DNA structure that was first discovered in 1964 by Alix Bassel and Yasuo Hotta. [1] In contrast to previously identified circular DNA structures (e.g., bacterial plasmids, mitochondrial DNA, circular bacterial chromosomes, or chloroplast DNA), eccDNA are circular DNA found in the eukaryotic nuclei of plant and animal ...

  8. Human mitochondrial genetics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_mitochondrial_genetics

    In humans, mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) forms closed circular molecules that contain 16,569 [4] [5] DNA base pairs, [6] with each such molecule normally containing a full set of the mitochondrial genes. Each human mitochondrion contains, on average, approximately 5 such mtDNA molecules, with the quantity ranging between 1 and 15. [ 6 ]

  9. Circular chromosome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circular_chromosome

    A circular chromosome is a chromosome in bacteria, archaea, mitochondria, and chloroplasts, in the form of a molecule of circular DNA, unlike the linear chromosome of most eukaryotes. Most prokaryote chromosomes contain a circular DNA molecule. This has the major advantage of having no free ends to the DNA.
