The 15 pages that link to Codon, each with the reason it gives.

• Genetic codeBroader topic: Each codon is the basic unit that the genetic code assigns a meaning.

• Messenger RNABroader topic: Codons are the units through which messenger RNA encodes protein sequence.

• Transfer RNACompared with: A codon is the message read; an anticodon on transfer RNA is its matching counterpart.

• Translation (biology)Broader topic: Ribosomes interpret the message in successive three-nucleotide units.

• CysteineRelated: The UGU and UGC codons specify cysteine during protein synthesis.

• Protein biosynthesisBroader topic: The ribosome reads these triplets as the units of the protein-coding message.

• LysineRelated: The codons AAA and AAG specify lysine during translation.

• RNA editingRelated: Editing within a coding region can change codons and the resulting protein.

• Site-directed mutagenesisRelated: Coding-sequence mutations can change codons and thereby alter protein sequence.

• ArginineRelated: Six codons in the standard genetic code specify arginine.

• Har Gobind KhoranaBroader topic: Synthetic RNAs let Khorana test the meaning of defined nucleotide triplets.

• AsparagineNarrower topic: Two codons in the standard genetic code specify asparagine.

• Nucleic acid sequenceBroader topic: Codons are the triplet units through which nucleotide order specifies protein sequence.

• Marshall Warren NirenbergBroader topic: Nirenberg’s central task was identifying which amino acids particular codons specify.

• Sequence (biology)Broader topic: Codons are local sequence units read during protein synthesis.
