We report many proteins not predicted by the genetic code. They are stable & abundant O( 10³ ) copies / cell. Generative mechanisms include codon-anticodon mismatches & RNA modifications. Their abundance depends on codon frequency & protein stability. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…


Australia to completely ban the use of genetic information in life and disability insurance. A huge win for the genetic disease community, for research participants and researchers, and for Dr Jane Tiller and others who tirelessly campaigned for this change! abc.net.au/news/2024-09-1…
