Unexpected genetic twist: A freshwater protist was found to repurpose two or even all three genetic stop codons to build proteins, overturning a core rule of molecular biology. Why it matters: This ...

Genetic rule breaker: A newly identified protist replaces two standard stop codons with amino acids, defying one of biology’s most consistent systems. Accidental discovery: Researchers found the ...

Researchers from the Earlham Institute, in collaboration with the Department of Biology at the University of Oxford, have discovered three previously unrecognized lineages of the protist Bodo, each ...
