Example sentences for: codon

How can you use “codon” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

Our sequence analysis also revealed a mutator-like DNA element [ 54] 178 bp upstream of the protein initiation codon of the Arabidopsis TIP1;2 (Figure 6).
In some cases, reassembly of a new ribosomal initiation complex after the terminator codon of the leader ORF serves to re-initiate translation at the initiator AUG codon for the main ORF, and thus two proteins are generated [ 39 ] . In other cases, leaky scanning by the ribosomal initiation complex bypasses the 5'-located leader ORF entirely, and only the "internal" ORF is translated [ 32 ] . In the case of fs-α 1S , we are not entirely certain which mechanism best applies.
This last point is crucial, since the occurrence of complex interactions between nucleotides located at different positions, would prevent a consensus sequence to emerge when analysing the stop codon context at a genomic level.
Another way to consider nucleotide composition is through codon usage.
Thus, in contrast to the Anabaena TrpAa pair, the Xylella TrpAaAb pair exhibited distinctly different codon usage.
