Abstract:
GENVIEW: and GENCODE: are tools for testing the adaptive nature of a genetic code under different assumptions about patterns of genetic error and the nature of amino acid similarity. GENVIEW: provides a user friendly, point-and-click interface by which a user may reproduce and extend analysis of the adaptive properties of the standard genetic code or any of its secondary derivatives. GENVIEW: is a graphical user interface (GUI) program which runs on Linux, Unix and Microsoft Windows platforms and is based on the GTKf + toolkit. GENVIEW: outputs ASCII configuration files which are interpreted by GENCODE: to perform an analysis. GENCODE: is available for the same platforms as GENVIEW.

RNA is the Missing Link Between DNA and Proteins
In the early 1900s, scientists discovered that DNA stores all the information needed for cellular functions and that proteins perform most of these functions. However, the mechanisms of converting genetic information into functional proteins remained unknown for many years. Initially, it was believed that a single gene is...
