Excellent article by Allan Miller on TSZ:

> When last I looked, there were about 18 known variant codes. More are being discovered [all the time](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetic_code#List_of_alternative_codonshttps://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetic_code#List_of_alternative_codons). It’s instructive to compare the differences – but first, I’ll run through the basic mechanics of protein coding from DNA.

J-Mac is a regular at TSZ. Blocking recommended.
