Differences in assignments from those in the universal genetic code occur in codes of mitochondria. In this report, the published sequences of the mitochondrial genes for COI and ND1 in a platyhelminth (Fasciola hepatica) are examined and it is concluded that AAA may be a codon for asparagine instead of lysine, whereas AAG is the sole codon for lysine in this species.
线粒体密码子与通用遗传密码子的分配存在差异。在本报告中,对一种扁形虫(肝片吸虫)线粒体基因COI和ND1的已发表序列进行了研究,得出的结论是,AAA可能是天冬酰胺的密码子而非赖氨酸的密码子,而AAG是该物种中赖氨酸的唯一密码子。
