This is the "universal"
genetic code used in
translation of
RNA to
protein. There are alternate
codon useages in
Mitochondria and certain other
plastids, but by and large this holds true for all
prokaryotes and
eukaryotes. This contains all the 3 letter and 1 letter codes for the
amino acid (go there for explanation of what these represent) that correspond to each codon. It should also be noted that these are listed how they appear in
DNA. In RNA,
Uracil replaces
thymidine.
