Secret Code Discovered In Human DNA - Health News - redOrbit: "The genetic code uses a 64-letter alphabet known as codons. The UW team discovered that some codons, which they called duons, can have two meanings – one related to the protein sequence, and one related to gene control. These two meanings seem to have evolved in parallel with each other, with the gene control instructions appearing to help stabilize certain beneficial features of proteins and how they are made.
The discovery of duons has major implications for the way in which scientists and physicians interpret a patient’s genome, and will open new doors to the diagnosis and treatment of disease."
