The vertebrate mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) genetic code
The vertebrate mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) genetic code
Differences
between the vertebrate mtDNA code
and the "universal"
code are indicated in red. Note that UGA codes
for Trp
rather than being a stop codon, there are two Met codons,
and two AGR codons are read as Stops. Slightly different mtDNA codes are found in Drosophila and other invertebrate
groups.
