Variations in the mitochondrial DNA genetic code of
vertebrate animals
The code differs in the arrangement of Stop Codons
and by an extra Met codon, such that AUR codes
for Met.
In Biol
2250, the vertebrate mtDNA code
is important because many of the examples used in the
lab and lecture are based on actual mitochondrial
DNA sequence data produced in Dr
Carr's lab. In any example, be sure you are
using the correct code to for the type of DNA involved.
