The role of alternative genetic codes in viral evolution and emergence

Although the ‘universal’ genetic code is widespread among life-forms, a number of diverse lineages have evolved unique codon reassignments. The proteomes of these organisms and organelles must, by necessity, use the same codon assignments. Likewise, for an exogenous genetic element, such as an infec...
