a specific sequence of three adjacent nucleotides on a strand of DNA or RNA that specifies the genetic code information for synthesizing a particular amino acid
The open reading frame consists of a series of tri-nucleotide codons which are translated into specific amino acids in the lengthening polypeptide. 由一系列三核苷酸密码子组成，多肽延伸时翻译成特定氨基酸。
To provide a more convincing positive control for our system, we used paromomycin which suppresses stop codons by reducing elongation fidelity. 为使我们的系统拥有一个更具说服力的阳性对照，我们使用了能通过降低翻译延长精确度来抑制终止密码子作用的巴龙霉素。
