    Researchers try to cut the genetic code from 20 to 19 amino acids

    Researchers from Columbia and Harvard engineered a portion of the ribosome to function without the essential amino acid isoleucine, aiming to test hypotheses about the evolution of the genetic code. The study explores whether life's universal genetic code, which encodes 20 amino acids, originally used fewer, potentially shedding light on early life's development.
