A roadmap for eliminating viruses from industrial microbes (& possibly
agriculture and humans).
It shows the "Genetic Code" used in every living thing on our planet
-- all 64 possible triplet "codon" combinations of 4 bases: A, C, G, U.
The numbers represent how many times each of these occurs in the star of
genome engineering -- E.coli. The 3-letter names in black are the 20 amino
acids encoded by the triplets. The 3-color uppercase symbols represent the
"anti-codons" in the tRNA molecules responsible for the decoding. We are
using this map to design and construct new genomes with new codes.
