List of genetic codes
Standard and alternative genetic codes
While there is much commonality, different parts of the tree of life use slightly different genetic codes.[1] When translating from genome to protein, the use of the correct genetic code is essential. The mitochondrial codes are the relatively well-known examples of variation. The translation table list below follows the numbering and designation by NCBI.[2]
- The standard code
- The vertebrate mitochondrial code
- The yeast mitochondrial code
- The mold, protozoan, and coelenterate mitochondrial code and the mycoplasma/spiroplasma code
- The invertebrate mitochondrial code
- The ciliate, dasycladacean and hexamita nuclear code
- The deleted kinetoplast code; cf. table 4.
- deleted, cf. table 1.
- The echinoderm and flatworm mitochondrial code
- The euplotid nuclear code
- The bacterial, archaeal and plant plastid code
- The alternative yeast nuclear code
- The ascidian mitochondrial code
- The alternative flatworm mitochondrial code

This article is missing information about The NCBI gc.prt data format, though we could need to wait for an upstream doc fix. (December 2023) |
The alternative translation tables (2 to 33) involve codon reassignments that are recapitulated in the list of all known alternative codons.
